Budweiser to bring live football to fans via Facebook

Ascot v Wembley sounds more like a corporate ligger’s spring dilemma than anything else, but on Friday it will become a pioneering event. Ascot United v Wembley FC, an extra-preliminary FA Cup qualifying-round fixture, will be the first match to be streamed live on Facebook.

The clash between the Yellamen and the Lions, of the Hellenic Football League Premier Division and the Combined Counties League Premier Division respectively – both from the ninth tier of the pyramid – will take place at United’s 1,150-capacity home, within the grounds of the Berkshire town’s famous racecourse.
