Round 5: Victory v Phoenix, 4.00pm at AAMI Park on November 10
Victory’s annual Remembrance Round fixture is also the club’s first game at AAMI Park. The Sunday arvo match-up will be an important opportunity to remember and acknowledge the service men and women who sacrificed their lives during times of conflict.

The regular U-NITE Australia Day match against Sydney FC will be a couple of days earlier this season due to potential AFC Champions League commitments, but the multicultural celebrations (and rivalry with Sydney) will remain the same!
