Live Stream FFA Cup Classic Headlines Epic Easter

A live stream game between NPL Victoria heavyweights Hume City and South Melbourne headlines a blockbuster Easter long weekend that welcomes top flight teams to the 2018 FFA Cup.

The Good Friday showdown between Hume and South will be streamed live on both FFV Facebookand FFV YouTube and will interest a national audience due to the recent FFA Cup success of both teams.

The two clubs are among Victoria's most successful in the FFA Cup's short history, with Hume City making the semi-finals in 2015 as the most successful Member Federation club, while South Melbourne matched the feat as Victoria's most successful club in the cup last year.

The match is the only one fixtured for Good Friday and will kick off at 5pm at Hume City's ABD Stadium. Tickets will be available at the gate.

The live stream is part of a broader initiative by Football Federation Victoria to get football fans out to experience the "Magic of the Cup" and get hooked on NPL Victoria action.
