The historic fixture will see the Wanderers host the Sydney Derby in Penrith for the very first time with a large turnout expected for the knock-out match.
Wanderers members will receive a special Early Bird $10 Ticket offer for 24 hours only today as a thank you to current members and to ensure Penrith turns Red & Black for this epic occasion.
Having previously hosted Wanderers Hyundai A-League, FFA Cup and Westfield W-League matches at the stadium, Wanderers CEO John Tsatsimas believes Panthers Stadium is the perfect place for Wanderers to make history in the FFA Cup.
“We would like to thank Panthers Stadium and Penrith City Council for supporting us in hosting this match,” said Tsatsimas.
“The Wanderers have a fantastic record for crowds and results at this stadium in the past and we look forward to bringing the Wanderland experience back to Panthers Stadium.”
Penrith Mayor Ross Fowler said he was excited Penrith would play host to the FFA Cup Semi Final for the cross-town rivals, further cementing Penrith’s reputation as a major event destination.
“The Penrith community will be thrilled the Wanderers have the opportunity to play in front of their western Sydney fan base right here in Penrith, we are the home of world class events in Western Sydney,” Cr Fowler said.
“Council is delivering on its commitment to providing headline events for locals to enjoy in their own backyard as well as attracting visitors to our city where there is so much for visitors to see and do.
“Our city loves its sports and the FFA Cup Semi Final against Sydney FC will be no exception. Panthers Stadium is a great venue which allows you to be close to the action to support your team and I look forward to hosting fans of both teams in our city.”
