Littlehampton Town are gearing up for their first competitive match of the campaign, and what better way to begin than with a fixture in the prestigious Emirates FA Cup? The oldest and most celebrated football competition in the world gets underway this weekend and Sunday's home game promises to be an exciting encounter.

On Sunday, 4th August, Littlehampton Town will host Tooting & Mitcham United at St Flora's Road Sportsfield, with kick-off scheduled for 3pm. This Extra-Preliminary round match will see The Golds, who compete in the Pitching In Isthmian Football League South East Division, face off against Tooting & Mitcham United from the Combined Counties Premier Division South League. The stage is set for a thrilling cup tie as both sides look to progress and make their mark on this historic competition.

The Golds have been hard at work during pre-season, and managers and players alike are eager to see their efforts pay off in this crucial opening fixture. With a blend of seasoned players and fresh faces, the team is ready to give their all and strive for a memorable cup run. In addition, a summer of hard work by the club's committee of volunteers has seen the construction of a brand-new 150-seater stand and new dugouts as the club continues to develop its facilities for the long-term.

Ticket prices for the game are set at £10 for Adults, £5 for Concessions, and just £2 for Under 16s. Both card and cash payments will be accepted at the turnstile. We hope to see many of our loyal supporters there to support their local team in this historic competition.
