Bristol City have confirmed that they will play Belgian side Royal Antwerp in a pre-season friendly at Ashton Gate.

It will be City's only home fixture in their pre-season schedule, and will be held on Friday 1 August with a 1945 BST kick off.

Manager Gary Johnson said: "They take football very seriously and are Manchester United's feeder club, so are clearly held in high regard.

"The game will be our last one before the new campaign," he added.
