Liverpool's pre-season tour continues with a friendly match against Yokohama F. Marinos at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Japan, on July 30, 2025. This game is an opportunity for Liverpool to bounce back after their 4-2 loss to AC Milan in Hong Kong. Liverpool, managed by Arne Slot, are using the tour to give playing time to all squad members while aiming to end their summer venture positively.
Yokohama F. Marinos, who won the J1 League title in 2022, have been struggling lately and currently sit 18th in the Japanese top flight, fighting relegation. The team was previously managed by Ange Postecoglou and has key attacking players like winger Daiya Tono and Brazilian Yan Matheus. Despite their poor form, they present a challenging opposition on home soil.
The match holds more significance for Liverpool as it showcases their newly completed offseason activity. The Reds have made high-profile signings, notably Florian Wirtz, who made his first start against AC Milan, and Hugo Ekitiké, who is expected to feature in this game following his £69 million transfer. Fans are eager to see these record-signing players display their ability and help Liverpool prepare for the demanding 2025-26 Premier League season.
While results in pre-season are often secondary to fitness and team cohesion, Liverpool supporters hope the match will restore confidence following their defensive weaknesses exposed against Milan. With a relatively weaker Yokohama side, Liverpool aim for a winning performance to end their Far East tour on a positive note.
