Campbelltown Sports Stadium is set to ignite when it welcomes the Western Sydney Wanderers on Tuesday 2 August for their much-anticipated Westfield FFA Cup Round of 32 clash.  

The Wanderers will take on fellow Hyundai A-League club Wellington Phoenix in the national knockout tournament, which is run by Football Federation Australia in conjunction with every state and territory member federation across the country. In only its third season, the Westfield FFA Cup has earned a reputation as one of the country’s most inclusive sporting events, involving more than 700 professional, semi-professional and amateur clubs.  

The Wanderers last played a competition match at Campbelltown Sports Stadium in 2013 against the Newcastle Jets, and are set to return to the ground in January 2017 for an A-League reunion match, in the hope of repeating the convincing win against the Jets almost three years ago. The FFA Cup match will be a fantastic precursor to the A-League fixture, giving fans an early taste of the electric atmosphere that the Wanderers are renowned for.  

Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr Paul Hawker, said the game was another fantastic opportunity to showcase our city’s premier sporting venue.  

“This latest coup for Campbelltown City is the result of Council’s ongoing relationship building with a range of sporting codes, and highlights the versatility of Campbelltown Sports Stadium as a sporting and entertainment venue, boasting easy public transport access and ample parking,” Cr Hawker said.  

“The local FFA Cup fixture will be a great opportunity for residents across the Macarthur region to enjoy elite level competition of one of Australia’s most popular sports, and experience the game day atmosphere that only Campbelltown Sports Stadium can offer,” Cr Hawker added.

Ticket prices for the Western Sydney Wanderers v Wellington Phoenix match range from $10 for juniors through to $49 for family passes, and will be on sale through Ticketmaster from Wednesday 20 July. Gates open from 7pm, with an 8pm kickoff.
