Melbourne Victory gearing up for a blockbuster season opener as we take on Brisbane Roar in Round One of the 2023/24 Liberty A-League.
Jeff Hopkins’ side will look to kickstart the new campaign in style in what is expected to be a packed-out home opener at The Home of the Matildas on Sunday.
Key Players to Watch:
- Lydia Williams: The most capped Matildas goalkeeper makes her return home and is set to bring invaluable experience in our push for the title.
- Kurea Okino: The leading goalscorer and Golden Medal winner in the NPLW Victoria will look to recreate her form at the next level and create problems for defences throughout the league.
- Emma Checker: Another Matilda returning home providing leadership and experience as we try and go one step further than last season.
