Club: Western United
State: Victoria
Home ground: AAMI Park, Mars Stadium
Founded: 2018
Australia Cup Final Rounds appearances (inc. 2023): Three

Australia Cup Record
- 2020 – Competition not held
- 2021 – Round of 32
- 2022 – Round of 16
A last 16 exit in 2022 is the best showing so far for John Aloisi’s side in the competition, where they fell to eventual finalists Sydney United 58 FC on penalties.
They will be determined to make a positive start against the Northern NSW NPL club and put behind a disappointing A-League 2022/23 season and title defence behind them.
