Kids Go Free!

The Club is excited to welcome kids to every single home game for free this season. Young people have been challenged by the pandemic, particularly in football, and the Club is proud to encourage the future fans of the Green and Black to bring their families to the stadium.

Kids under 12 will go free, while family tickets are available for only the price of two adult tickets throughout the campaign.

Kids Takeover

As well as the Kids Go Free deal that is consistent with the entire A-League Men season, Western United will welcome families in Geelong and across Victoria for this game for a ‘kids takeover’.

With the family friendly kick-off time of 5:05pm, families are encouraged to come along to GMHBA Stadium and participate in a host of fun activities happening around the football.

There will be face painting outside the stadium, performers and inflatable football fun before the gates open and a spectacular pre-match fireworks show.

Active Support

The Western Service Crew has followed the team to each match so far this season in league and cup action, and the active support will be back in full voice this weekend.

Active support is well and truly back and fans will be able to stand, chant, wave flags and bang the drum. However, the Club kindly asks that fans remain in front of their own allocated seat at all times when viewing the match.
