The kick off time for this season’s FA Cup Final between Manchester United and Manchester City has been Changed according to the English FA.
The FA Cup final this season will now kick off at 15:00 BST on June 3 for the first time in 12 years.
At Wembley, kickoff for the Manchester United vs. Manchester City game was scheduled for between 16:45 and 17:30.
The London Metropolitan Police, meanwhile, has designated the derby game as high risk and raised security concerns with the later kickoff times.
Since City defeated Stoke in 2011, this will be the first game to begin at 15:30.
The earlier kick off time should facilitate fans’ departure from London, since the final direct train from the city to Manchester on June 3 is set to leave at 21:00.
Following complaints from the Met Police, Tuesday’s Premier League match between Arsenal and Chelsea was postponed with less than three weeks’ notice.
