Supporters are invited to attend and entry is free, giving fans and the local community the chance to enjoy a competitive fixture, while showing their support for the men and women who serve their country.

The match, which kicks-off at 7pm, forms part of the long-standing Inter-Services Championship and carries added significance this year.

The British Army arrive as the current champions and holders of the Constantinople Cup – a competition that has been contested since 1909. Meanwhile, the Royal Navy have already beaten the Royal Air Force earlier in the competition, meaning the encounter at Fratton Park will be a winner-takes-all clash to decide this season’s champions.

Hosting the fixture at Fratton Park is particularly fitting given Portsmouth’s deep connection with the Royal Navy and the armed forces community.

Although admission is free, supporters must secure a ticket in advance. Parking spaces are available to purchase for £12 (£6 for blue badge holders).
