West Bromwich Albion have announced an international friendly against the Delhi Dynamos at The Hawthorns next month.
An Albion XI will host the Indian Super League side on Saturday, September 3 (kick-off: 3pm) as they step up their preparations for the forthcoming season with a visit to England.
The encounter will be the first between Premier League and Super League teams and promises to be a fantastic afternoon during the first international break of the 2016/17 domestic campaign.
It is the latest link-up between the Baggies and the Dynamos, who are managed by Italy's World Cup-winning full-back Gianluca Zambrotta.
Both sides promoted each other on their digital advertising hoardings last season before forward Adil Nabi joined Delhi on loan.
West Brom, in conjunction with Wolverhampton University, have also sent grassroots coaches to Delhi where they have trained thousands of children over the last six months and helped with educating coaches.
Tickets for the friendly are priced at just £5, with all profits to be split between five charities including the Albion Foundation.Supporters can purchase tickets now via the club's East Stand ticket office, by calling 0121 227 2227 or online.
