FC United are set to play in front of 20,000 supporters as part of their Far East adventure.

The Rebels will take on fellow fan-owned club Bucheon FC 1995 in South Korea on Saturday.

Karl Marginson’s side kicked off their pre-season campaign with a 4-1 win over Leek CSOB over the weekend at Harrison Park — the scene of their first competitive game nearly four years ago — thanks to a hat-trick from new signing Ben Deegan.

FC will play either Sheffield, Flixton or Windsford in the first qualifying round of the FA Cup on Saturday, September 12. In the FA Trophy, they will meet Deegan’s former club Ashton United on Saturday, October 17.
