A-leagues matches postponed due to severe weather
Three A-Leagues matches have been postponed due to ongoing extreme weather events in New South Wales and Queensland.
The announcement:
The A-Leagues regrets to confirm that three matches have been postponed due to extreme weather in New South Wales and Queensland.
The scheduled Liberty A-League Women’s match between Brisbane Roar and Canberra United at Perry Park on Monday 28 February has been postponed due to excessive rain at the venue.
Further the Liberty A-League Women and Isuzu UTE A-League Men’s double header scheduled for Sunday 27 February between Western Sydney Wanderers and Wellington Phoenix due to be played at CommBank Stadium has been postponed.
Due to the rising Parramatta River and increased level of the surrounding water table, CommBank Stadium’s surface has been unable to drain and is therefore unfit for play. The A-Leagues will continue to work closely with venue management to monitor the surface for the next 48 hours with the aim of rescheduling the games to later this week.
We thank our venue partners for their ongoing support and assistance while we continue to deal with the extreme wet weather conditions.
The A-Leagues is coordinating with clubs to reschedule all postponed matches.
