Melbourne Victory is delighted to announce further details for the hosting of its AFC Champions League Two Group Stage Match Day 5 in Geelong.
The reverse fixture against Thể Công–Viettel, on Wednesday, November 25, kick-off 6:45pm AEDT, will take place at Kardinia Park Stadium, as Victory brings continental football competition to its communities.
This marks the latest stage of the Club’s commitment to delivering elite football experiences in communities across Victoria, following Shepparton hosting February’s Ninja A-League clash against the Newcastle Jets.
The activity includes a Melbourne Victory Junior Clinic taking place on match day, with the Club’s pathway coaches offering young players the opportunity to get involved and develop their skills.
Match tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by clicking here, including in an allocated section of safe standing available for home supporters.
Melbourne Victory Managing Director, Caroline Carnegie, commented:
“The Club would like to thank the Victorian Government, Visit Victoria, the City of Greater Geelong and Geelong Major Events for supporting this opportunity and working together to ensure the facilitation of another Victory match in Regional Victoria. Our gratitude extends to the AFC for their cooperation and assistance.
“Melbourne Victory is proud to be the club for all Victorians, and in line with our regional strategy, we are excited to see existing and new supporters from across the state joining us in Geelong as we compete in the AFC Champions League Two.”
The Mayor of the City of Greater Geelong, Dr. Stretch Kontelj OAM, commented:
“The City is proud to support and showcase the world game right here in Geelong through our Geelong Major Events funding.
“I urge locals to head on down to Kardinia Park for the kick-off and support Melbourne Victory in what I’m sure will be a cracking game of football against Vietnam’s Thể Công–Viettel.”
Supporters are advised that Melbourne Rectangular Stadium was unavailable to host the Match Day 5 fixture.
