25/07/2024

Rodney Parade will host the 2025 JD Welsh Cup final and Bute Energy Welsh Cup final, it has been announced by The Football Association of Wales (FAW).

It will be the second consecutive year that Wales’ two most prestigious cup competitions will culminate in Newport, after Connah’s Quay Nomads and Cardiff City lifted the respective trophies there last season.

Last season’s Bute Energy Welsh Cup final between Cardiff City and Wrexham at Rodney Parade attracted a crowd of 1,734 – a record attendance for the competition.

This season, the Bute Energy Welsh Cup final will take place on Sunday 27 April 2025, before the JD Welsh Cup final on Sunday 4 May 2025.

Kick-off times, ticket details and television information will be confirmed at a later date.

The journey to Rodney Parade begins this weekend in the first qualifying round of the JD Welsh Cup, while the Bute Energy Welsh Cup qualifying round takes place in September.

Rhys Blumberg, CEO at Dragons RFC, said: "We are absolutely delighted that the JD Welsh Cup and Bute Energy Welsh Cup finals are returning to Rodney Parade for a second successive season.

"The team here at Rodney Parade delivered an exceptional match day fan experience for supporters and now we look forward to exceeding that and creating a special occasions for the finalists. Good luck to all the teams in the competition.

“Last season’s finals were both very special occasions. Now, with a full season to build marketing campaigns and engagement models, I am excited to see how this translates into two more fantastic cup finals with fan experience at the heart of our delivery.
