Hume City is calling for community support at next week’s FFA Cup match against Port Melbourne.

The competition is resuming after Victoria’s strict COVID-19 restrictions put a break on community sport.

Football Australia confirmed match details for various round of 32 fixtures that were postponed earlier this year.

Hume coach Nick Hegarty said the players were excited to get back out there despite not having had much time to prepare.

“Everybody was excited to get out the house and have a kick for sure, we trained a couple of weeks now and everybody’s in as good a condition as can be, which is great,” he said.

“At the same time the current situation and the current rules lead us into not a fantastic preparation to be honest.”

Hume City will face Port Melbourne at ABD Stadium, Broadmeadows next Wednesday, November 10 from 7.30pm.
