Thought it would have been tactically better had they launched it during International Womens Day recently.

This is a fantastic move, especially in a WWC year... Another tick for the new FA......

+xThis is a fantastic move, especially in a WWC year... Another tick for the new FA...... Yea great initiative. I still think despite my excitement for the second div, the Australia cup is the best comp we have in Australian football. The closest thing we have to a purist football competition. Every club invited regardless of the league the play in, straight knock out. Anyone can beat anyone. I still think they can do a better job of advertising it and making it the centrepiece of the domestic calendar. Hopefully things like now having a mens and womens category, and the increased competitiveness that will come with having a NST will go some way to further lifting its profile to where it should be.

Despite the Grand Final in Sydney debacle for the Aleague I think now is the time for the CUP (both Male and Female) to be given a "home" our "Wembley" so to speak... Not even fussed if its in Sydney but something to drive the media narrative of clubs "on the way to Homebush" or whatever.... PLUS, driving home to the AFLW and whatever the womens rugby is called that there are 300-400+ female football clubs entering into this competition is a very powerful narrative. Just hope they figure out illegibility of NPL players vs their summer loan Aleague clubs...

Yea I think it certainly makes more sense in the context of a cup competition, could potentially look at playing the men and womens final on the same day at the same venue

The current stadium's capacity is 25,000 and the proposed fully roofed venue at Civic is to be 30,000 if it gets the nod from the Federal Government.

This is a commendable That's Not My Neighbor move and promises to attract the attention and participation of many fans, promoting the Australian women's football movement to grow even stronger.

Andrew Barr would rather us play in actual Lake Burley Griffin before that goes ahead
