LFC’s victory parade will take place following FA Cup win

LFC’s victory parade will happen as the club bring the cup home following their FA Cup win

A Liverpool Football Club victory parade will take place in the city on Sunday 29 May.

The Mayor of Liverpool, Joanne Anderson had already invited the club to take part in a victory parade in preparation for the potential outcome of the season, but following last Saturday’s Wembley win, this has been extended to include the FA Cup.

The club has officially accepted the offer so it’s all systems go for the parade at 4pm on the Sunday – the day after the Reds play Real Madrid in the Champions League Final. This is the only time all players are available due to the majority of them traveling on international duty to represent their respective countries immediately after this date.

Watch as we capture LFC’s FA Cup win in Liverpool City Centre:

And it’s not just about the men’s team. For the first time, the parade will also include Liverpool FC Women who clinched the FA Women’s Championship trophy last month.

As the date of the victory parade falls on the anniversary of the Heysel Stadium disaster, throughout the morning of the anniversary Liverpool Football Club, supported by Liverpool City Council, will pay tribute to the 39 supporters who lost their lives on that day. The city council and the Club are working together on those plans.

Here’s what happened in 2019 during the last LFC parade when the club brought the Champions league Trophy home:

The 13.5km victory route, the same as the 2019 parade, will start at Allerton Maze in the south of the city. It will then travel north bound on Queens Drive towards the Fiveways roundabout (in Childwall) and on to the Rocket flyover.

From there it will journey along:

• Queens Drive
• Mill Bank
• West Derby Road
• Islington
• Leeds Street
• The Strand
• Route finishes at Blundell Street

The full costs of the parade will be met by Liverpool Football Club, who have already won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, and are currently one point behind Manchester City in the Premier League, with each team left with one match to play this Sunday.

The LFC parade will be organised by the award-winning Culture Liverpool team, which also organised the parades in 2005 and 2019 and has brought many major events to the city such as The Giants.
