Three Academy of Football fixtures rearranged


The Academy of Football have had three changes confirmed for their forthcoming March-April schedule.

Firstly, West Ham United U18s will now host Leicester City U18s this Saturday, 7 March, at Little Heath Sports Ground, with kick-off at 12noon.

The two sides were originally due to face off on 4 April but, due to the U18s taking part in the prestigious Dallas Cup in Easter week, the fixture has now been brought forwards.

The U18s' rearranged Premier League South away fixture against Norwich City U18s has also been confirmed for Wednesday 1 April at Colney Training Centre. Kick-off in Norfolk will be at 2pm. 

Kevin Keen’s youngsters had originally been due to travel to the Canaries on 29 February, however the the contest had to be postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

Finally, West Ham United U23s' Premier League 2 Division 2 fixture against Aston Villa will now no longer take place at Villa Park. Instead, Dmitri Halajko’s side will visit Villa’s Bodymoor Heath Training Ground on the same date - Monday 6 April - with kick-off remaining at 7pm.

Closer to home, West Ham U23s return to Premier League 2 Division 2 action against Swansea City at London Stadium on Monday 16 March, with kick-off 7pm.
