Western United FC have decided to move the club’s first-ever pre-season friendly to avoid a clash with the FFA Cup 2019 Round of 32.
The Hyundai A-League newcomers confirmed last Monday they had locked-in the club’s debut match when it was revealed they would face Caroline Springs George Cross FC on Wednesday, August 21.
To avoid any potential clashes with an FFA Cup 2019 Round of 16 match in Melbourne, we have rescheduled our first friendly match against @georgecrossfc from Wednesday 21 August to Thursday 22 August (kick-off 7:00pm) at City Vista.
