National League side Oxford City will welcome 2021 FA Cup winners Leicester City in the first round of the competition on Friday. The match puts the non-league club in the spotlight as they prepare to face Premier League opposition at their home ground.
Leicester City lifted the FA Cup trophy in 2021 after defeating Chelsea in the final at Wembley. Oxford City, currently competing in the fifth tier of English football, earned their place in the first round proper through the qualifying rounds.
The fixture represents a significant occasion for the Oxfordshire club, offering both financial rewards and the chance to test themselves against top-flight opposition. Kick-off is scheduled for Friday evening.
