The Western Sydney Wanderers will come together with their community, members and supporters this ANZAC Day to deliver a moving and respectful matchday commemoration when they face Melbourne Victory at CommBank Stadium.
In partnership with Legacy Australia, the club will support Operation Rosemary, ensuring sprigs of rosemary – a traditional symbol of remembrance , are distributed to fans on match day.
The initiative follows a recent moment where Wanderers players came together to pin rosemary, reinforcing the importance of honouring service and sacrifice in a simple but powerful way.
ANZAC Day at CommBank Stadium will be marked by a series of carefully considered ceremonial moments designed to recognise and respect those who have served.
A Guard of Honour will formally welcome both teams and match officials onto the field, setting the tone for an evening defined by reflection and unity.
The National Anthem will be accompanied by a live bugler performance, before the Ode of Remembrance is delivered as part of the pre-match tribute. The Last Post will then be performed live, providing a solemn moment of pause and remembrance for all in attendance.
Beyond the pre-match ceremony, the club will also incorporate a half-time stadium light show to enhance the matchday atmosphere for members and fans at CommBank Stadium.
In ensuring the match remains accessible to as many in the Western Sydney community as possible, the Wanderers have introduced $15 Family Tickets, which include integrated public transport, as well as $5 General Admission Tickets, encouraging families, members and fans of all ages to be part of the day.
More than just a fixture on the football calendar, ANZAC Day at CommBank Stadium will stand as an opportunity for the club and its community to come together in remembrance, respect and gratitude, honouring the spirit of service that continues to connect generations.
