Liverpool have announced that they will travel to Australia as part of their pre-season tour later this year.

The Reds will take on Brisbane Roar and Adelaide United following of the enormous success of 2013's friendly against Melbourne Victory at a sold-out Melbourne Cricket Ground.

"We visited Australia for the first time two years ago and the support we received from our Australian fans was incredible," chief executive Ian Ayre said in a statement.

"Liverpool FC has over 600,000 supporters in Australia and we look forward to meeting as many of them as possible while we are in the country.

"Pre-season is an important time for the team as they prepare for the upcoming season and the matches against Brisbane Roar and Adelaide United are an exciting part of that preparation, giving our supporters a chance to see the team up close, no matter how far away from Anfield they live."

Liverpool will be joined in Australia by Manchester City, Real Madrid and Roma as part of July's International Champions Cup tournament.
