Perth's northern suburbs to host Australia Cup double-header
Perth's northern suburbs are set for a blockbuster week of soccer, with Perth Glory now facing Wellington Phoenix at Kingsway Reserve in Madeley this Sunday as part of the Australia Cup. The match will be part of a double-header, with Olympic Kingsway set to take on Melbourne Victory on Tuesday at the same venue. Olympic Kingsway regularly competes in the National Premier League, WA's second-tier competition featuring semi-professional players. The Glory vs Phoenix match was initially scheduled for Sam Kerr Football Centre in Queens Park, but has been moved to the Olympic Kingsway Sports Club for unknown reasons. Founded in 2013, the Australia Cup has hundreds of clubs from across the country, including A-League Men and lower-tier teams, battle it out, with the winner progressing to the Asian Cup. On Tuesday, the State Government announced a $40,000 grant to support temporary infrastructure upgrades at the ground, boosting Kingsway Reserve's capacity to host the fixture and provide an enhanced matchday experience.

Sport and Recreation Minister Rita Saffioti said she was proud to support grassroots community clubs in hosting some of the country's leading footballers. 'We are delighted to support Olympic Kingsway play a role in this year's Australia Cup, which has become an institution for uniting the country's top teams with our semi-professional sporting community,' she said. 'This investment is helping ensure WA continues to deliver roundball events that excite and unite not only football fans, but sport fans across the board.' Landsdale MLA Daniel Pastorelli said the significant upgrades to the Kingsway sporting complex in recent years made hosting these matches possible. 'The Landsdale community is proud to host these two massive Australia Cup knockout games, right here at Kingsway Reserve.' 'I have no doubt that the magic of the cup across these two blockbuster games will inspire a generation of young football stars.' Glory vs Phoenix kicks off at 3pm on Sunday, while Olympic Kingsway faces Melbourne Victory at 7pm on Tuesday. Tickets for both matches start at $20 for standard adult entry.
