The mooted exhibition match between A-League premiers Sydney FC and Premier League heavyweights Liverpool is locked in for May 24 at ANZ Stadium.
The NSW Government on Monday have confirmed last week's reports Juergen Klopp will bring the Reds' first team to Sydney for the first time.
"We want you to be there. Everyone tells me how passionate the Reds support is in Australia. I can't wait to see it for myself," Klopp said.
"Sydney we are coming. Get ready!"
It will be a tight turnaround for the Reds, who play their final Premier League fixture at home to Middlesbrough three days earlier on May 21.
Also tight will be the ticket-selling window, though Liverpool have massive drawing capacity given Australia's large fan base, illustrated by the more than 40,000 who turned out at ANZ Stadium for last January's exhibition hit-out between a band of Socceroos and Liverpool legends.
The rumour mill has also helped by linking recently retired Anfield icon Steven Gerrard to a high-profile guest appearance, though this is unconfirmed.
The clash will give the Sky Blues a chance to test their scintillating domestic form against one of the world's best sides, who have dropped out of the Premier League title race and sit third with six games to play.
Graham Arnold's squad will face another Premier League giant in Arsenal on July 13.
Liverpool legend Ian Rush, who was in Bondi for the announcement of the match against the Sky Blues, expects an atmosphere just as remarkable as previous visits to Australia.
The Reds have visited Australia twice in the past four years, claiming a memorable 2-0 win over Melbourne Victory at a packed MCG in 2013 and beating Adelaide United 2-0 and Brisbane Roar two years later, both in front of 50,000-plus crowds.
"The last time the first team were in Australia was 2015 and the support was phenomenal," Rush said.
"The lads are really excited to get back out here and play a great game against one of Australia's best A-league teams."
