The Roar’s first home clash will take place on Saturday, 17 November against Melbourne City (3pm KO) followed by home fixtures in Round 3 against Adelaide United (Sunday, 25 November, 3pm KO), Round 5 against Perth Glory (Saturday, 8 December, 10:30am KO) and Round 7 against Melbourne Victory (Sunday, 23 December, 10:30am KO).
FFA’s Head of Leagues, Greg O’Rourke, believes that the Foxtel Y-League plays an important role in the Australian Football ecosystem.
“Having a strong Foxtel Y-League helps complement the football development of Australia’s best youth footballers who also play in their respective local National Premier Leagues competitions during the winter months,” O’Rourke said.
“This competition not only allows the best youth footballers to test themselves against their age-group peers from around the country, it also allows them to learn from, and play with, Hyundai A-League players who are either returning from injury or who need match minutes.
“The Foxtel Y-League is the perfect stepping stone for our most talented players who aspire to play in the Hyundai A-League and become heroes in their own right,” concluded O’Rourke.
