Two storied English soccer teams are set to play at Williams-Brice Stadium in three weeks and tickets are still readily available.

Manchester United and Liverpool, members of the English Premier League, will play an exhibition match on Aug. 3 at the University of South Carolina stadium. This will likely be the first time a soccer game has been played inside the 80,000-seat football stadium.

The game is part of a three-city series called The Rivals in Red Tour, which will feature Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. The game in Columbia will close out the American tour.

For details on tickets, check out below. But first, here are some details for those unfamiliar with the two teams.

Manchester United & Liverpool

Manchester United was founded in 1878 under the name Newton Heath LYR, according to the team’s website. The club switched to the name Manchester United in 1902.

Manchester United has won a record 20 titles and is considered by many to be the most popular English Premier League club.

Liverpool

Nearly as popular of a soccer club is Liverpool, founded in 1892. The club currently sits at the 12th spot of the Premier League table, two steps above Manchester United.

Soccer game tickets

While tickets have been on sale since late February, there are still plenty available through Ticketmaster. Not only are there thousands of seats, you likely won’t have much trouble snagging some of the best spots to watch the game.

Those choice seats will cost you though.
