Hull FC’s annual Armed Forces fixture will return for our Betfred Super League Round 19 clash against Castleford Tigers next month, with a bumper match day of activities coming up and an exclusive ticket offer for military and emergency services personnel!
The Black & Whites will host their Yorkshire rivals at the MKM Stadium on Saturday 15th July (3.00pm), with a whole host of Armed Forces themed activities taking place in and around the ground, including our military themed West Park Fan Zone.
As revealed earlier this evening, the Black & Whites will take to the field in their brand-new Armed Forces jersey, which pays tribute to the club’s long-standing relationship with all branches of the military, with links through the likes of club icons Jack Harrison VC MC, Johnny Whiteley MBE and Clive Sullivan MBE who served for their country, as well as current first-team player Mitieli Vulikijapani who serves as a gunner in the 47 Regiment Royal Artillery.
The jersey and accompanying training range is on sale now at hullfcshop.com, and will be available in store from 9.00am on Thursday morning. To find out more about our brand new Armed Forces jersey – click here.
Tony Smith’s men will be aiming to continue their strong home form of recent months when the Tigers come to town, with wins over Huddersfield, Wigan and reigning champions St Helens in their last three league outings on home turf.
And those with links to the forces and the emergency services can help create an electric atmosphere and build a bumper crowd, with tickets for Armed Forces personnel and military veterans available for just £15 in store with our exclusive ticket offer.

Inside The Ground
The match ball will be delivered by members of the military ahead of kick-off in spectacular style, before the teams will be welcomed to the field with a military guard of honour.
Boot It with Summit Vans will have a military theme as one lucky contestant attempts to win £1000 worth of holiday vouchers courtesy of Andrew Earles Holiday by kicking the ball into a Jackal!
There will also be plenty of other military themed activities taking place around the ground.
