The U18s’ FA Youth Cup fourth round tie against Nottingham Forest will be played at Portman Road on Tuesday 17th January (KO 7pm).
The Tricky Trees, who have a category one academy, beat West Brom 1-0 in their third-round tie at the City Ground last week to set up their visit to Suffolk.
Sam Darlow's Town side came from 2-0 down to beat Huddersfield 3-2 at the John Smiths Stadium in their round three match after previously defeating Bromley 2-1 away and non-league Aveley 9-0 at Portman Road.
Supporters will be housed in the Cobbold Stand, home in Block C and away in Block E, with prices £3 for adults and £1 for concessions with cash admission on the turnstiles. Season ticket holders are not admitted free for Youth Cup fixtures.
