Big clash at the top of the table
Western United is leading the Isuzu UTE A-League Men once again after a big win against Western Sydney Wanderers on Sunday, which included a stunning scorpion kick goal from Ben Garuccio.
The Green and Black drew 1-1 with Sydney FC just under two weeks ago, and the Sky Blues are in good form themselves as they have risen up to fourth on the ladder.
Kids Go Free!
Western United 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.
Active Support
The Western Service Crew will be back in full voice to show their support for the team, taking up a spot back behind the goals at AAMI Park.
After a long wait, active support is 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.
Fans can purchase tickets and select the active category to enjoy the experience chanting and spurring the team on to a good result.
