Adelaide United will face Melbourne Knights in the FFA Cup 2019 Round of 32 at Knights Stadium on Wednesday, 7 August at 7pm ACST, after the details were confirmed this afternoon.

The match will also be broadcast Live and Exclusive on FOX SPORTS that night.

Moreover, as well as broadcasting one match ‘Live and Exclusive’ in full on each match night, FOX SPORTS will also LIVE stream and provide updates and crosses to all other matches in the FFA Cup 2019 Round of 32 (see www.foxsports.com.au for all broadcast and streaming details).

The Reds became the first team to win the competition twice after triumphing past Sydney FC 2-1 in last year’s title decider, thanks to a stunning Craig Goodwin brace.

The sixth instalment of the FFA Cup will see Adelaide looking to defend its crown and aim to become the first side two win the FFA Cup back-to-back.

The Round of 32 fixtures will be played over three match days (Tuesday or Wednesday) between the 23 July – 7 August. Meanwhile, the Round of 16 will take place across two match days between 20 August – 28 August.

Further changes have been made in the latter stages of the tournament to avoid Member Federation Grand Finals, congestion, and assist Hyundai A-League clubs with their season preparations.

The Quarter Finals have been condensed to one-week over two match days between 17-18 September, while the Semi Finals will revert back to midweek fixtures on 1-2 October.

The FFA Cup Final 2019 will also be brought forward from last year to the evening of Wednesday, 23 October.
