LONDON – The English FA Cup final between Manchester City and Manchester United on Saturday, June 3 will kick off at 3pm local time (10pm in Singapore) at Wembley, the Football Association said on Wednesday.
According to the British media, the police had requested an earlier kick-off time from its recent slots as a late afternoon clash to ease pressure on the transport system.
It will be the first time in 12 years that the match will start at 3pm. Since 2012, the showpiece finale to the football season had started between 4.45pm and 5.30pm. Reuters
