In preparation for their Abu Dhabi and Dubai tour, Abdul Basit’s Oldham Veterans Football Club (OVFC) will play FC London in a friendly in Birmingham on Sunday, 2nd October. Both teams have a special bond and many of the OVFC squad have in the past toured Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka with FC London.

FC London is a respected touring veterans squad consisting of pioneers of British Bangladeshi football and true footballing legends from down south. The match on Sunday is a demonstration of the great friendship and unity amongst veteran players from the north, midlands and the south of England.
