The LFC Foundation is rallying behind Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker to help raise crucial funds for his home state of Rio Grande do Sul
The LFC Foundation is rallying behind Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker to help raise crucial funds for his home state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, which has been severely impacted by devastating floods.
In recent months, torrential rains have triggered floods in the region, displacing hundreds of thousands and resulting in over 150 fatalities. Many residents are now left without electricity and safe drinking water.
To support the relief efforts, Alisson, with the help of the LFC Foundation, is organizing a special auction featuring LFC match-worn shirts from the final home game of the 2023-24 season. The auction includes shirts worn by Alisson himself, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Mohamed Salah. Additionally, a variety of signed football boots from the squad, including those of club captain Virgil van Dijk and Alexis Mac Allister, will be available.
The auction, managed by the LFC Foundation, is currently live and can be accessed by clicking here. All proceeds from the auction will go directly towards providing aid and support to those affected by the floods. The auction will close at 2 PM BST on Saturday, July 13.
Expressing his gratitude, Alisson said, “I am thankful to the LFC Foundation for their help. The impact of the flooding in Rio Grande do Sul is massive. Let’s together show the people from my homeland the power of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.’ Every donation will be transformed into helping those in need. From the bottom of my heart – thank you all.”
Matt Parish, chief executive of the LFC Foundation, added, “We are pleased to be able to help and show our support. This is something that is very close to Alisson’s heart, and we are hoping that through this auction and the Foundation’s support, he is able to reach his goal. We aim to help those affected rebuild their lives after such devastation to their homes.”
This collaborative effort underscores the solidarity and compassion within the Liverpool community, extending support to those in critical need far beyond the football pitch.
