Exeter City's men's team will wear a specially designed kit when they host Tranmere later, as they mark the club turning 125 - ahead of the women turning 25 on Sunday.
A club spokesperson said: "The men's fixture against Tranmere Rovers has been chosen as the official anniversary match, falling just two days before the date in 1901 when something extraordinary was set in motion.
"It was on September 21 of that year that St Sidwell's United - the club that would become Exeter City - played their first recorded match: a 4-2 home win against Dawlish.
"Now 125 years later, the Grecians come together to celebrate everything that has followed. And this is not just one anniversary.
"The weekend also marks 25 years of Exeter City Women's Football Club, who will be playing Bournemouth at St James Park on the Sunday - making the weekend a historic one for everyone associated with the club."
