Wyndham City is abuzz with excitement as the Regional Football Facility nears completion, heralding a proud moment for the community. With Western United Football Club (WUFC) set to make the facility their new home and prepare for their inaugural matches, anticipation is running high.
This facility marks the first stage of the ambitious A-League Stadium Project in partnership with Western Melbourne Group (WMG). Comprising three pitches, a two-storey pavilion, and boasting a capacity for 5,000 spectators, the state-of-the-art venue will host both Liberty A-League Women matches and Isuzu UTE A-League Men matches.
Wyndham City Mayor, Councillor Jennie Barrera, expressed her delight at reaching this significant milestone, emphasizing the importance of the project for the community. She highlighted the facility's role in increasing access and participation in football across the West, while also providing talent pathways for aspiring athletes.
The collaboration between Wyndham City Council and WMG is set to redefine sport in the region. With the next phase of the project underway, which includes a purpose-built 15,000 capacity stadium and an 800-lot residential community, the vision for an integrated sports and lifestyle precinct is taking shape.
Jason Sourasis, Chairman of Western United and WMG, echoed Mayor Barrera's sentiments, emphasising the club's commitment to a community and fan-first philosophy. He expressed gratitude to all involved in the project and underscored the significance of the facility as Western United's permanent home.
Head Coaches Kat Smith and John Aloisi shared their excitement about the prospect of playing at the new facility. Smith lauded the equality in design, reflecting the club's commitment to the advancement of women's football, while Aloisi highlighted the opportunities the facility will create for aspiring footballers in the region.
As the community eagerly awaits the official opening, Council is nearing the finalisation of names for the Regional Football Facility Reserve and Pavilion. With public voting underway, the chosen names - Davis and Ironbark - will soon be endorsed, further cementing the facility's place within the community.
The imminent opening of the Regional Football Facility signifies a new era for football in Wyndham City. With Western United Football Club at its heart, the facility is poised to become a hub of sporting excellence and community engagement, enriching the lives of residents and aspiring athletes alike.
