Melbourne City Football Club will play its FFA Cup quarter-final against Wellington Phoenix at Casey Fields on Wednesday 22 December.
The match will be the first competitive game City’s senior men’s team has played in Greater South East Melbourne and comes almost a year to the day since the club announced it was relocating its training and administration headquarters to Casey Fields.
The match will take place on the Casey Fields Main Oval, where the Melbourne Demons play AFLW and AFL pre-season matches and where the Melbourne Storm hosted an NRL pre-season match in 2020.
There is ample parking on site. Stay tuned for ticket details and news on pre-match activations across the Casey Fields precinct.

Wellington moved into the quarter-finals with a 4-1 win against local Victorian side Avondale on Tuesday 14 December.
