Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have touched down in Sydney ahead of their pre-season tour of Australia for the Sydney Super Cup. Both clubs have wasted little time settling into life in Sydney, beginning preparations for a busy week of training sessions, fan events and pre-season fixtures.

The London rivals will each face A-League opposition before meeting meeting in the marquee fixture of the tour at Accor Stadium, bringing two of England’s biggest clubs to Australian shores as they build towards the 2026-27 Premier League season.

For Chelsea, the tour represents the first opportunity for supporters to see new manager Xabi Alonso lead the Blues. Meanwhile, Spurs fans will be eager to see improvements from Roberto De Zerbi’s men following their narrow escape from relegation last season.

Chelsea will open their tour against Western Sydney Wanderers on Tuesday 28 July, while Tottenham will face Sydney FC on Wednesday 29 July, before the clubs meet in the headline fixture of the tour on Saturday 1 August.

The clash will mark the first time the London rivals have faced each other outside the UK. The tour is another sign of Australia’s growing stature as a destination for elite European clubs during the northern hemisphere off-season

With Chelsea and Tottenham among the Premier League’s biggest global brands, the fixtures are expected to attract strong crowds and give Australian football fans a rare opportunity to watch top-flight English footballers in person.

The tour will also feature the Chelsea Women’s team, which will take on the A-League Women’s All Stars in a showcase fixture on Wednesday 12 August.

Kansas City Current receive financial backing for stadium expansion

The CPKC Stadium, home to NWSL side KC Current, will see a major financial injection transform its capacity from 11,500 to 18,000.

 

Leading by example

Amid the excitement, chaos and attention on the FIFA World Cup this summer, the football industry in the US has, once again, come into the spotlight.

But one story which truly represents the progress and development of football in the US is not within the men’s game, but the women’s.

Kansas City Current – a team who privately funded the world’s first purpose-built football stadium for a women’s professional team – is once again leading by example for women’s football in the US.

Only this time, their stadium plans will have the backing not just of the club, but of the Kansas City Council. A recently approved package of AUD 336 million (USD 235 million) will add 6,500 seats to the venue, an expansion which comes as a welcome development for fans who regularly fill the CPKC Stadium to capacity.

 

Big investment, fast expansion

The CPKC Stadium, however, is little over two years old, having reached its project completion in 2024. But after matches consistently sold out, expansion was always the next step in the inspirational journey of the KC Current.

Co-founders and co-owners, Angie and Chris Long, outlined what the coming investment will mean for both club and community.

“We are proud to continue investing in Kansas City’s future and grateful for the partnership that makes this chapter possible,” the Longs said.

“The success of the Current and the Riverfront benefit our entire community, and we are honoured to help create a lasting legacy for a city that has given so much to us.”

The public funding for the project takes it to AUD 2 billion (USD 1.4 billion). Such financial commitment, of course, reflects the welcome backing from the Kansas City Council.

Yet, more importantly, it shows that women’s football is one of the most rapidly growing industries in the sporting world. In just a few years, the KC Current went from a 3,200 capacity stadium to one which boasts 18,000.

Who knows, in the coming seasons, where this rapid rise will lead to next.
