Football Federation Australia (FFA) today confirmed today that the remainder of the Hyundai A-League 2019/20 season will commence this Friday (17 July 2020).
FFA鈥檚 Head of Leagues, Greg O鈥橰ourke, is looking forward to the matches recommencing.
鈥淲e have faced many challenges over the past week since we released the original match schedule and it will need a few tweaks to reschedule the Melbourne teams considering their relocation to Sydney,鈥 said O鈥橰ourke.
鈥淯nder the conditions of the exemption from the NSW Government, Melbourne City FC, Melbourne Victory and Western United FC will undergo a 14-day quarantine period before being able to re-join the competition which has meant we have had to update our match schedule accordingly.
鈥淭he final schedule will be released tomorrow with no impact to this weekend鈥檚 games and minimal changes excepting Melbourne based teams. Fans will be able to attend selected matches in line with Government guidelines and I look forward to the teams returning to playing football.
鈥淭he revised Hyundai A-League regular season schedule will recommence on Friday 17 July with Sydney FC facing Wellington Phoenix at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium and will be open for a limited number of members and fans to attend.
鈥淥ver the coming days, we will be announcing which other matches will be open for fans to physically attend, but of course you will be able to watch the matches on FOX SPORTS, SKY Sport (NZ), ABC TV, Kayo Sports and the MyFootball Live App.
鈥淲e are now focused on finishing what we started,鈥 concluded O鈥橰ourke.
* the number of fans allowed in a venue is subject to government and venue regulations.
