Competing in a round-robin format, Liverpool face Lyon on December 11 and Milan, the reigning Italian champions, five days later. Liverpool will not, however, take on English Premier League rivals Arsenal. Mikel Arteta’s side will instead kick off the Super Cup against Lyon on December 8 before meeting Milan five days later. The Dubai Super Cup is held under the patronage of Sheikh Hmadan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai. The tournament is organised by Dubai Sports Council and Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). Players from the four clubs representing their nations at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will join up with the squads in Dubai in the event of early elimination.

Match tickets begin at Dh250. For more information visit dubaisupercup.ae
