The WUFC Gala will be a celebration of all of the Club’s achievements both on and off the football field with the chance to glam up, enjoy a three-course meal and entertainment alongside the presentation of a number of awards, including Western United’s Player of the Season.

The event will be held at the Victoria Pavilion at Melbourne Showgrounds on Wednesday June 1, commencing at 6:30pm and concluding at 11:30pm.

Notable football broadcaster David Basheer and popular television personality Catriona Rowntree will host the night, speaking with guests, announcing awards and providing an engaging event experience.

Alongside the Player of the Season gong, there will be a host of honours handed out to Western United’s star players including Young Player of the Season, the Golden Boot and Club Person of the Season.
