The FA Youth Cup

Date confirmed for 2019 FA Youth Cup Final between Manchester City and Liverpool

The Academy Stadium in Manchester will host this season's FA Youth Cup Final

The date for this season’s FA Youth Cup Final between Manchester City and Liverpool has been confirmed.

Taking place at the Academy Stadium in Manchester, the Final will take place on Thursday 25 April with a kick-off time at 7.45pm.

Both teams secured their place in the Final last month, with Liverpool first to progress in their semi-final victory over Watford while City saw off West Bromwich Albion with a 4-2 victory.

The format of The FA Youth Cup was changed for this season, with the effect that the semi-final and Final would be played as one off matches (as opposed to over two legs) in order to ease fixture congestion for the clubs.

Tickets for the game will be sold via Manchester City FC, but the game will also be screened live on BT Sport 1.
