Head coach Geoff Abrahams has named his extended squad for Sunday afternoon’s fixture against Melbourne City.
The match is part of the club’s Grassroots Recognition Round, with $1 tickets available for grassroots football participants across Western Sydney.
The round celebrates the local football community that forms the heart of the Red & Black, welcoming junior players, families, and clubs for a special afternoon at Wanderers Football Park.
The Wanderers are eager to bounce back after a narrow 1-0 loss to Melbourne Victory last weekend. Despite creating chances, with Rachel Lowe going close early and Talia Younis striking the crossbar before halftime, the side could not find the goal to level the match. Positives came in defensive resilience and the ability to challenge a quality opposition.
Melbourne City arrive in strong form, presenting another tough test. The Wanderers will need to stay disciplined at the back while taking their chances in attack to secure a positive result in front of their home crowd.
As the team wraps up its home campaign, there is extra motivation to showcase their growth this season and thank supporters for their ongoing backing. Sunday promises an exciting clash, with the energy of the Grassroots Recognition Round set to inspire the Red & Black to finish at home on a high note.
