Why Community Shield between Liverpool and Man City won't be held at Wembley

The King Power Stadium has been confirmed as the venue for this summer's Community Shield after replacing Wembley Stadium for the 100th edition of English football's traditional early season fixture.

Manchester City, who lifted the Premier League title last month, will take on FA Cup winners Liverpool at 5pm on Saturday, July 30. This is the fourth time in five years that six-time winners City will compete for the Community Shield, while the Reds have clinched the plate on 15 occasions previously.

Unlike the past 10 seasons, the game will not take place at Wembley, the traditional venue for cup finals. With the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 final taking place on the same day, Leicester 's King Power Stadium has been named as the new venue for this season's fixture.
