Battery To Host English Championship Portsmouth FC

May 23, 2013 by Ray Alley

The Charleston Battery will play England’s Portsmouth F.C. in an international exhibition on Wednesday, July 27 at Blackbaud Stadium.
This marks the second consecutive year that the Battery has hosted an English team. Last July the Battery played the Bolton Wanderers in front of a sold out crowd of 5,249.
Portsmouth plays in the English Championship, which is a league below the English Premier League.
Formed in 1898, Portsmouth twice won the FA Cup and was champion of English FA in 1949 and 1950. Portsmouth made it to the FA Cup final in 2010, losing 1-0 to Chelsea.
Tickets for this game go on sale June 21.
