Local soccer fans are in for an absolute treat with Melbourne City set to host Wellington Phoenix in their round of 16 Australia Cup clash at Casey Fields on Wednesday 17 August.

The clash kicks-off on the VFL ground at Casey Fields at 7.30pm, with the club thrilled to be able to bring big-time sport to their local community.

“The Australia Cup draw gives us a serendipitous second chance after last season’s Cup fixture against the same opposition was postponed due to Covid and then later relocated due to venue availability,” City said via a club media release.

“While it may have taken a little longer than we had hoped, we are thrilled to bring this game to Melbourne’s South East community.

“Merchandise and memberships will also be on sale, so you can sign up for the 2022/23 season and stock up on all your City gear.

“There will be plenty of entertainment around the venue in what will be the perfect midweek night out for the whole family.”

City Members will be able to redeem free tickets to the match, while non-members will be able to purchase via Ticketbooth.

Tickets will go on sale next week so stay tuned to Club channels for further details.
