Here, you will find all the information that is available as regards the Community Shield 2022, which is fast approaching.
The Community Shield is always the first opportunity for English clubs to win a trophy before the regular season begins. The FA Cup and Premier League champions from the previous season determine which two teams will compete. The Premier League runner-up from the previous season will be the team that plays in the match if a club wins both of these awards.
KFN recalls that Leicester City defeated Manchester City 1-0 in the Community Shield match played at Wembley in 2017 thanks to a Kelechi Iheanacho penalty in the 89th minute.
