The 2024/25 FA Youth Cup campaign will see a combined Reading City Football Club and John Madejski Academy squad competing for the cup with members of our own Under 18s squad featuring for the first time as our partnership continues to go from strength to strength.

Having recieved confirmation from the FA, we are now in a position to confirm that our Extra Preliminary Round clash against Marlow will take place here at the Rivermoor on Wednesday 14th August, with a 19:00 Kick Off.

Due to FA Cup ticketing rules which requires the total gate fee to be split between both clubs this is an all-paying fixture which means that our Season Ticket Holders and Members will need to pay to watch this fixture. It also means that we are not able to offer our usual discounts to Blue Light Card Holders, Defence Discount Card Holders or Premier League/English Football League/Women’s Super League or Women’s Championship Season Ticket Holders.

Admission is priced at £16 Families (Two Adults and Two Children), £8 Adults, £4 Concessions and Under 16s. Under 5s go free with a paying adult.
