Tottenham Hotspur FC, Newcastle United FC and Arsenal Women FC will headline an exciting series of international football club matches at the MCG and Marvel Stadium in May this year.
The three-game series, Global Football Week – Melbourne, will feature Spurs against Newcastle United on Wednesday, 22 May at the MCG, which will see football fans from far and wide flock to the heart of Melbourne for this landmark match.
This will be a homecoming for Melburnian Ange Postecoglou following an epic first year as Manager of Tottenham Hotspur FC.
The match will be followed by a double header on Friday, 24 May at Marvel Stadium with three-time Women’s Super League champions Arsenal Women taking on the A League All Stars Women.
Rounding out the Friday event will be a second appearance by Newcastle United, this time against the A League All Stars Men.
The surging popularity of women’s football, driven by the Matildas, will be in show when Arsenal Women takes the pitch, with its roster featuring Matildas Steph Catley, Kyra Cooney-Cross and Caitlin Foord – making history as the first time Arsenal Women have played in Australia and it is the first time the A League All Stars Women has been assembled.
