Victory’s milestone of 20,000 members was announced just one day prior to the club’s Isuzu UTE A-League Men campaign kicking off against the Sky Blues at Allianz Stadium on Saturday at 7.45pm AEDT.

The start of the A-League Men campaign comes one week after Round 1 of the Liberty A-League Women season, where Victory hosted Brisbane Roar at their new home venue, The Home of the Matildas at La Trobe University.

Victory’s A-League Women side continue their season away to local rivals Western United in Round 2, and will look to bounce back after a 2-1 home defeat to Brisbane.
