Two blockbuster clashes to kick off FFA Cup 2021 Round of 16

The FFA Cup 2021 Round of 16 will begin with two massive derby fixtures in South Australia & Queensland later this month.

Three-time FFA Cup Winners Adelaide United will face South Australian opposition for the first time in the competition’s history, coming up against National Premier Leagues SA side Adelaide Olympic.

Olympic qualified for the last 16 for the second time in their history, knocking off ECU Joondalup in Perth last month. Meanwhile, Adelaide United needed extra-time to also defeat Western Australian opposition, with victory over Floreat Athena.

The two Adelaide sides will meet on Sunday, 17 October at VALO Sports Centre, with kick-off scheduled for 3pm local time (3:30pm AEDT).

In the other fixture, two clubs that are very well known to each other in Lions FC and Brisbane Roar will face off for a spot in the Quarter Finals on Sunday, 24 October.
