LFC reveals latest collectable Champions League programme cover
Liverpool FC has revealed its latest artist-edition Champions League matchday programme cover, created by illustrator, designer and director Yoni Weisberg.
The limited-edition programme for Tuesday’s match against Villarreal is available to purchase online here, or at the Anfield, Liverpool ONE and Williamson Square stores from Tuesday afternoon, as well as at official programme sales points around the stadium from four hours before kick-off on matchday.
Following the opening instalment from Abigail Rudkin, the project sees artists create bespoke cover designs for selected Champions League fixtures throughout the campaign, giving supporters the opportunity to collect a series of exclusive programmes.
As a lifelong Red, Weisberg has channelled his passion for the club into a portfolio of LFC-inspired artwork.
Created exclusively for the official matchday programme, his latest design brings the streets surrounding Anfield to life, depicting supporters making their way towards the stadium beneath a dramatic sunset. The illustration captures the anticipation and atmosphere that define a European night in Liverpool.
Having attended his first match at Anfield during the club’s treble-winning 2000-01 campaign and remaining a regular matchgoer, Weisberg draws on his connection to LFC to bring an authentic perspective to the latest addition to the artist-edition series.
“When I received the email asking me to create a Champions League programme cover, I genuinely had to read it several times,” he said. “Designing a matchday programme cover has always been a dream of mine, so seeing that become a reality is something I’ll always treasure.
“I’ve supported Liverpool my whole life and some of my favourite memories are from walking the streets around Anfield before a game, taking in the artwork, the atmosphere and the anticipation as kick-off gets closer. That’s the feeling I wanted to capture with this piece.
“With the evenings drawing in and autumn setting in, I was inspired by the drama of the sun setting over Anfield ahead of a big European night. Bringing those elements together felt like the perfect way to celebrate the occasion and my connection to the club.”
The artist-edition cover series celebrates Liverpool’s creative talent, bringing together football, art and storytelling to give supporters a unique collection of programmes to treasure throughout the Champions League campaign.
