This game is already the talk of the town…
On June 3rd, Manchester City meets city rivals United in the FA Cup final – what a match! The derby is actually scheduled for 5:30 p.m. local time, but now a police recommendation is causing unrest.
As reported by the English media, England’s football association FA (The Football Association) is facing an organizational problem. The background is that the police classify the Manchester derby in the FA Cup as a high-risk game. Due to security risks and the threat of riots, the authorities want to move the game, which is currently scheduled for 5:30 p.m., forward. The latest time that the police will tolerate for the kick-off: 4.45 p.m.
This poses problems for the FA. She now has to deal with her transmission partner ITV. Problematic: The Epsom Derby, one of the oldest English horse races, is supposed to start at 4:30 p.m. Also broadcast by ITV Now it could be preferred to have both events run back-to-back on the channel. However, this requires the approval of the Jockey Club first. This is the final authority for all questions in English galloping.

As “The Athletic” reports, the responsible parties will meet shortly to discuss possible options. Most likely, the police will prevail. After the violent scenes in the final of the European Championship 2020 between England and Italy (2:3 pens), late kick-off times at Wembley are avoided. The game kicked off at 8 p.m. local time.
Incidentally, this is the first time United and City have met in the FA Cup final. One thing is clear: no matter when the game begins – it will be extremely exciting!
