Where is Liverpool v Man City Community Shield being played and why isn't it at Wembley?

Liverpool and Manchester City will contest the 2022 Community Shield but viewers and fans will take note of a major difference this year: the annual football season curtain-raiser is not being played out at its traditional home of Wembley.

Instead, the teams will run out at Leicester City's home, King Power Stadium, on Saturday, July 30 (5pm kick-off), with Premier League champions City taking on FA Cup winners Liverpool to win the first piece of silverware of the 2022/23 campaign.

That's because Wembley is unavailable because it is hosting the Women's Euro 2022 final between England and Germany on Sunday, July 31. The last time the Community Shield was staged away from Wembley was 10 years ago in 2012, when Villa Park hosted the event because Wembley was hosting the 2012 London Olympics football tournament final between Mexico and Brazil on the same weekend.
