Sydney FC to host an AFC Champions League clash at Allianz Stadium

Sydney FC will host an AFC Champions League clash at the new Allianz Stadium for the first time in February 2025.

The Sky Blues' highly anticipated round of 16 match with Bangkok United will take place on Wednesday 12 February at 7pm.

The match is only the second time Sydney FC has reached an AFC Champions League knockout stage, and the club also are keen to showcase their world-class home stadium to the Asian Football Confederation for the very first time.

Sydney FC’s Chief Executive Officer Mark Aubrey emphasized the significance of the match for the whole A-League. 

“This game isn’t just about Sydney FC; it’s about the future of Australian football,” Aubrey said.

 “The AFC Champions League competition gives us the chance solidify Australia’s elite reputation in Asia and we need to perform and progress as far as possible to safeguard Australia’s critical AFC coefficient.

 “If we don’t perform, Australia risks losing its ACL Elite spot to countries like Malaysia and Vietnam, and the ripple effects would be felt by every A-League club.

 “It’s why we need a huge support, not just from Sydney FC fans but from all football supporters who have the best interests of Australian football at heart.

 “I’d urge as many fans of football as possible to attend.”
