LFC Foundation partners with Katarina Johnson-Thompson

Liverpool FC's official charity, LFC Foundation, has announced that it will be joining forces with world champion athlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

The Liverpool-born Olympian and Reds fan will become an official ambassador for LFC Foundation, a unique role that she will share with fellow ambassador Jürgen Klopp.

Alongside the new ambassadorial role, LFC Foundation will work in partnership with Johnson-Thompson’s KJT Academy to help develop a new community athletics and talent development programme targeting children and young people from across the Liverpool City Region.

The new partnership with the KJT Academy will see LFC Foundation deliver an accessible community sports and athletics programme that will encourage children and young people from disadvantaged areas to get involved in fun, physical activities and explore the world of athletics.
