The second last team joining the A-league was the Western Sydney Wanderers, which less than 3 years after the debut went all the way to conquer the Asian Champions League. Seven years later, Wyndham-based Western United FC aims for a similar height.
We're not here to compete, we're here to win - Lou Sticca (Western United FC co-owner and Director)
With a strong Italian soul (Maurice Bisetto is the president, Lou Sticca is the director), the green and black brand new Melbourne team is looking forward to breakthrough in the Australian football league. With a significant private investment of 25 million dollars, the squad has signed two former Italian stars, such as Greek Panagiotis Kone and former Azzurri Alessandro Diamanti.
They also happened to play together in FC Bologna a few years back.
