FC Cincinnati announced on Twitter Friday its Saturday match with Crystal Palace is sold out.

The June 16 friendly kicks off at 7 p.m. Saturday and pits the third-tier Queen City newcomers against an 111-year-old club from the vaunted English Premier League. The match has piqued interest since it was announced on May 19.

FCC players Pat McMahon and Ross Tomaselli along with Crystal Palace players will visit the Ronald McDonald House Saturday morning at 11, according to a news release from the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Cincinnati.

FCC normally opens doors an hour before kick-off for regular United Soccer League matches, but will open doors at 5:30 p.m. for the match with Crystal Palace.
