LFC Foundation hosts community football sessions at home of Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC – Liverpool FC
It was a memorable occasion for the children, aged between eight and 14, who were welcomed to Highmark Stadium and treated to an event full of football and with some surprise guests.
LFC Foundation was joined by club CEO Billy Hogan, chief commercial officer Ben Latty and Reds legend Sami Hyypia, who spent time talking to the children, getting photographs and taking part in the football sessions.
Led by LFC Foundation staff, the young footballers were put through their paces with some training drills and mini-games, alongside club mascot Mighty Red and Pittsburgh Riverhounds mascot AMO.
Hogan, LFC CEO and vice-chair of LFC Foundation, said: “I’m delighted to be able to join LFC Foundation activities today, which involved local youngsters.
“There’s going to be a number of these events in each of the three cities we’re visiting, which showcases our commitment to community and our desire to leave a lasting impression on fans wherever we go. We’re very proud of the community work we do as a club off the field of play, it’s so important to us.”
The soccer clinic is the first of a number of similar events hosted by LFC Foundation throughout the duration of this year’s pre-season tour in the USA, with more to follow in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Columbia.

Pittsburgh Steelers get injury updates on five players, including ascending pass rusher
The Pittsburgh Steelers got some injury updates on Tuesday courtesy of head coach Mike Tomlin, with the most promising one being that pass rusher Nick Herbig should return this week against the Cleveland Browns.
Herbig suffered a hamstring injury against the Miami Dolphins and practiced late last week but could not make the final push to suit up against the Lions.
Meanwhile, four other players are working through soft tissue injuries as well. Cornerback James Pierre has a calf issue that has kept him out of the last two games, but he went through a workout on Tuesday and that could get him back on the practice field.
Tomlin seemed optimistic that Pierre would return to practice this week. He did not give the same level of optimism to guard Isaac Seumalo, who is still battling through a triceps injury.
Seumalo missed last week after not practicing, and could be out for another game if he can not practice. Spencer Anderson, his backup, will be limited after getting banged-up against the Lions.
Wide receiver Calvin Austin III has a hamstring strain that Tomlin said will leave as questionable this week, and will likely limit him early in the practice week. The same can be said for slot cornerback Brandin Echols, who is battling a groin injury.
