Liverpool announce major Anfield change as unveiling of new-look stadium draws closer

Liverpool will apply for a Safe Standing Licence for next season as the club get set to unveil a new-look Anfield in August.

The move will see the introduction of safe-standing areas across all rail seating sections on the Kop and in the lower Anfield Road stand from the start of the 2023/24 campaign, which will coincide with the venue playing host to crowds of up 61,000 following completion of a 7,000-seat expansion.

The Reds have had safe standing in place across the back of the Kop and parts of the Anfield Road end for the last two seasons and reviewed its effectiveness following the end of the season in late May.
