A-LEAGUE 2021 FINALS SERIES

Welcome to the A-League 2021 Finals Series – I really hope you’re going to have as much fun covering it as we will have staging the next five games.

There have been so many hurdles we have had to get past in these pandemic-affected times. But the quality of the football, the levels of excitement and the number of players who have burst on to the scene this season have been unbelievable, and I have loved seeing players and fans giving their all at every stadium in the league over the past few months.

I can’t tell you who the winner will be, but I can guarantee you that whichever team emerges on top by the end of the grand final will have fought every step of the way and be a deserving champion.

Thanks for all your support this season, you are an important part of the team. I hope you all enjoy the A-League 2021 Finals Series.

Yours in football Greg O’Rourke Leagues Commissioner
