Football fans in America will have a chance to take their farmyard animals to a match.
Austin Bold, who play in the second-tier USL Championship, are holding a Farmer in the Del Valle night for their forthcoming game against Phoenix Rising.
Meet the newest, furriest members of our supporters’ group. Our April 17 match against @phxrisingfc is Farmer in the Del Valle Night! Fans who bring live farm animals receive free admission to the match, and a portion of the evening’s proceeds go to a local 4H chapter. #GoBold pic.twitter.com/jaafTgogq8

Fans are being encouraged to take their animals to Bold Stadium for the April 17 fixture – and if they do, they will get in free of charge.
The club said animals permitted at the event include chicks, ducks, geese, goats, cows, pigs, turkeys, sheep, horses, llamas and donkeys.
The livestock will be kept near the pitch and be looked after by students from youth organisation 4H, which will also get a portion of the profits from the game.
You are not.

Austin are a relatively new club, having been founded in 2017.
They joined the USL Championship this year and only played their first game at the new Bold Stadium on March 30.
