LIVERPOOL will introduce safe standing areas at Anfield in time for Saturday’s Premier League fixture against Bournemouth after receiving a licence for the new season, it was announced today.

The club will introduce safe standing areas in all rail seating sections on the Kop and the lower Anfield Road Stand, allowing 13,300 fans to stand throughout matches.

Liverpool applied for the licence in June after a steady expansion of the rail seating sections across the stadium since they were first introduced during the 2020-21 season.
