The fixture for the upcoming Ninja A-League Women match between Adelaide United and Brisbane Roar has officially changed, marking an important event for local football fans. The match was originally slated to take place at Marden Sports Complex but will now be played as a standalone fixture at Coopers Stadium, South Australia’s premier football venue.
This highly anticipated match is scheduled for Sunday, 23rd March, at 4:00 PM ACDT, offering fans the chance to witness the action at one of the most celebrated locations for football in the region.
To celebrate this standalone match, Adelaide United, together with Adelaide Venue Management, is excited to provide complimentary access to the game for registered players and officials at Football South Australia Clubs. This initiative aims to pack Coopers Stadium with supporters from the South Australian football community, encouraging as many local families and fans as possible to come out for the event.
CEO of Adelaide United, Nathan Kosmina, emphasized the significance of moving the fixture to Coopers Stadium, stating: “On the back of a great season to date, we’re excited this venue change offers members, fans and the broader football family a unique opportunity to enjoy a memorable game at Coopers Stadium. Presenting the match as a standalone event at our historic home highlights our commitment to and investment in our Women’s program.”
The fixture is particularly important, as it pits Adelaide United against one of their key rivals, Brisbane Roar, both vying for positions at the top of the league. Kosmina noted the stakes of the match, saying: “With Brisbane one of our main rivals for a top four – which would secure a home final – meaning the match shapes up as the most important of the season.”
The event will be supported by Adelaide Venue Management, which has shown commitment to women’s football by sponsoring this standalone game. Martin Radcliffe, CEO of Adelaide Venue Management, expressed his enthusiasm, remarking: “The Adelaide United Women’s team has had a fantastic season to date. We’re pleased to be able to sponsor the upcoming standalone game at Coopers Stadium to help accommodate a larger crowd and encourage fans to come out, bring their energy and cheer on our team as they continue their push toward finals.”
Fans have been encouraged to attend the match, as Radcliffe noted, “Coopers Stadium has been generating an electric atmosphere this season, and I urge as many Adelaide United supporters as possible to attend this game.”
This schedule change not only aims to create buzz around women’s football but also includes additional opportunities for fans to engage with the sport. There’s another double-header event scheduled for International Women’s Day on March 8th, which will be sure to draw crowds and spotlight women’s roles in sports.
