WORCESTER City will play in front of their fans for the first time since last year when they host Evesham United in a pre-season friendly on Saturday July 10.

Only 500 will be allowed to watch the first home pre-season fixture of the summer with capacity restrictions still in place due to Covid.

The club confirmed that for the other two home fixtures, against Stourbridge FC (24 July) and Kidderminster Harriers (3 August), will be reviewed closer to the date to determine numbers. 

The government are scheduled to lift all coronavirus restrictions on July 19, which means those two games could well have bigger crowds. 

City are in action in their first pre-season match this weekend away at Cheltenham Saracens before they face Leamington Spa away next Tuesday night.
