Western Sydney Wanderers FC can today confirm that they will play their Liberty A-League clash against Canberra United on Saturday 18 November 2023 at Carrington Park, Bathurst.
The match forms part of the Wanderers commitment to the Western NSW region and will see the club deliver benefits to the Bathurst community through a range of school and grassroots programs to drive and support football participation.
Mayor Jess Jennings said he was looking forward to welcoming the players and their supporters to Bathurst.
“This is the first ever A-League Women’s fixture to be played in Bathurst. It’s a fantastic follow-up to the Women’s World Cup that we all loved and gives such a brilliant boost to girls and women’s football locally,” he said.
“Bathurst is an events city and having sports matches like this demonstrates that our city has the resources, facilities and capacity to host large-scale events establishing Bathurst as a must-visit destination in regional Australia.”
Western Sydney Wanderers CEO Scott Hudson thanked Bathurst Regional Council and the local community for supporting women’s football.
“We would like to thank Mayor of Bathurst Jess Jennings and the local community for showing such passion to support and host a professional women’s football match in their hometown,” said Hudson.
“Following the recent success of our Schools Cup in the region, we are eager to continue to engage with the local Bathurst community to deliver programs and support football participation to have a lasting impact in the region.
“We are excited for the opportunity to play at Carrington Park and look forward to the match on Saturday 18 November.”
