Portsmouth's FA Cup clash against Hampshire rivals Aldershot at Fratton Park will be played on Sunday, November 9.
Both clubs have got their wish to hold the match on Remembrance Sunday and dedicate the occasion to the armed forces. Pompey chief executive Mark Catlin, said: "As soon as we heard the draw we knew this was a great opportunity as a community club to mark a very significant occasion. "Obviously Portsmouth has strong connections with the armed forces, especially the navy, and Aldershot is a garrison town. This is a chance for both clubs to say a sincere 'thank you' to the brave men and women who serve in the forces. "We are delighted that Aldershot Town share our vision for making this a memorable occasion and that their board welcomed our proposal to donate tickets to soldiers, sailors and veterans."
