Melbourne City FC begins its Summer of Football with a home clash against Brisbane Roar at AAMI Park on Saturday night.
With entertaining pre-match events, prize giveaways and half-time competitions, warm up to kick-off against the Roar with a range of family-friendly activities.
As a mark of respect, there will be a minute’s silence before kick-off in memory of those who lost their lives in the tragedy involving Chapecoense in Colombia this week.
