Albion will make a first senior visit to Forest Green later this month.
They have been drawn away to the League One outfit in the second round of rhe Carabao Cup.
It will be the clubs’ first meeting in league or either of the two senior cups.
Their first teams have played each other once, in the Football League Trophy back in 2003, when Leon Knight and 16-year-old Jake Robinson scored to give Albion a 2-0 win at Withdean.
It's believed to be the first Carabao Cup match featuring two former @ofk_1996 Head Coaches, unless we can be proved wrong! 👀

Albion’s under-21s drew 2-2 at Forest Green in the same competition last season with Brad Miller and Lorent Tolaj scoring for the Seagulls.
The tie will be played in the week commencing August 22.
That could mean Albion go to the Gloucestershire venue on the Wednesday given they are at West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday, August 21.
But the actual date of the game has yet to be confirmed.
Crawley have been drawn at home to Fulham.
