Football Australia endeavours to secure a suitable venue in all major cities for the Australia Cup Final. Unfortunately, Suncorp Stadium was unavailable, as was Ballymore, whilst Kayo Stadium’s capacity was deemed insufficient.
Sydney win 3-1. Not sure why they let that last goal stand, Grant was definitely active in the contest for the ball despite not touching it after being offside.
Football Australia has indicated that plans are still in play to launch the Women's Australia Cup. The competition's start date may sync up with Australia's hosting of the 2026 Women's Asian Cup. [@espnausnz]

There is one change this season. After the Round of 16 draw, they will be immediately doing the draws for the Quarter Finals and Semi Finals as well. So teams know their paths to the Final well in advance.
Applause to Freke as well, saved so many shots throughout the match (faced 16 in total). Roar will have to strengthen their backline because way too many opportunities were being allowed.
Any in particular worth watching? I'm gonna watch Oakleigh Cannons v Sydney FC since their last match ended in a cupset but I'm interested to hear if the other 3 are worth watching instead?

Oakleigh vs Sydney is the biggest chance for a Cupset.
I have doubts over Macarthur but O'Conner Knights are a ACT NPL team, so should be one even a weak ALM team can beat.
