The winners of this weekend's #HeadsUpFACupFinal will face the @PremierLeague champions at @WembleyStadium in the 2020 #CommunityShield supported by @McDonaldsUK.— England Football (@EnglandFootball) July 29, 2020
It has been reported that the match could serve as a test event to welcome a restricted number of supporters into Wembley as part of plans for supporters to make a socially distanced return to sports venues more widely from October 1st.
The match will be immediately followed by an international break from September 2nd to 10th.
