Amsterdam Challenge to be Robins' sole Friendly for 2025

Hull FC will play just one pre-season friendly in 2025 after confirming their participation in the Amsterdam Challenge against Utrecht.

The Black and Whites will travel to the Dutch capital on Saturday, January 18, for the match at the Johan Cruyff ArenA.

It will be the first time Hull FC have played in the Netherlands since their victory over Sheffield Eagles in the 2017 Challenge Cup.

The Amsterdam Challenge was first staged in 2023, with Hull KR defeating Wigan Warriors in the inaugural match.

The match will be a good test for Hull FC as they prepare for the 2025 Super League season. Brett Hodgson's side will be looking to improve on their eighth-place finish in 2024.

Utrecht are one of the most successful clubs in the Netherlands, having won the Dutch Championship 10 times.

The match will be a great opportunity for Hull FC fans to see their team in action in a different country.

Tickets for the match will go on sale in the coming weeks.
