The stars of the Hyundai A-League joined forces with the Fox Sports football team in Sydney this week to launch the 2019/20 Hyundai A-League season.
Fox Sports hosts Tara Rushton and Adam Peacock were joined by the head of the A-League Greg O’Rourke along with stars of the game to officially launch the new season, which begins this weekend.
Speaking at the launch, O’Rourke said: “The Hyundai A-League 2019/20 season will see the dawn of a new era for the competition.
“We have an expanded league with the introduction of our newest club, Western United FC. They will provide a new narrative, new rivalries and new fans in one of the fastest growing regions in Australia.
