Exeter City fans unable to make the journey to Brazil for their team's anniversary game can still enjoy some of the experience.

The current Exeter City squad will be playing a Fluminese team in Rio on the day in a match to commemorate the 100th anniversary of when the sides first met.

From 2pm on Sunday there will be sideshows, face painters, mascots, BBQ food and the bars will be open, and look out for a Stagecoach open top bus to catch a ride up to the ground.

Music will be provided in the afternoon by Streetheat Samba Band and Daniel Rangel from Brazil playing traditional tunes with his friend Henry Dunne.

In the evening Velvet Touch, famous in the South West since the 60s, will be performing.

Parking during the day will be very limited, however the big bank car park will be available in the evening.
