Sydney FC Gears Up for Key Matches as Stars Hit Major Milestones
This weekend promises to be a special one for Sydney FC fans, as both the men’s and women’s squads prepare for big games — and some big personal milestones. The Sky Blues are set to face Macarthur FC in the A-League Men’s, while the women’s team heads to Adelaide for their clash, both with plenty of storylines to follow.
For the Sydney FC Women, head coach Ante Juric has opted for a familiar lineup, keeping most of the squad from last week intact. The spotlight shines brightly on Mackenzie Hawkesby, who’s about to reach a remarkable 100-game milestone in Sky Blue. Her consistent brilliance was once again recognised at the recent Sky Blue Ball, where she picked up yet another club award. It’s a testament to her leadership and the impact she’s had over the years.

Adding to the excitement, 14-year-old sensation Willa Pearson retains her place in the extended team list. It’s impressive to see someone so young already making waves at this level, showing how committed Sydney FC is to nurturing upcoming talent. Abbey Lemon and Rubi Sullivan have also been promoted into the 19-player squad, adding fresh energy to the lineup.
However, there are a few injury concerns. Nat Tobin remains sidelined with a hamstring issue, while Shay Hollman, Indiana Dos Santos, and Hana Lowry are also out due to leg and knee injuries. Despite that, the depth of the squad remains strong, and Juric’s side will look to carry forward their recent momentum.
On the men’s side, there’s a major milestone to celebrate as well. Pat Wood, who first made his debut in the AFC Champions League back in 2020, is on track to play his 100th match for the club. His journey has been one of steady growth and resilience, and reaching this century mark is a huge moment for both him and the team.
Ufuk Talay’s men’s squad also sees the return of Corey Hollman and Akol Akon, who’ve been promoted into the extended lineup. Unfortunately, Ben Garuccio remains unavailable due to a quad injury, though the good news is he’s expected to make his return after the international break. Mathias Macallister is another absentee, still recovering from a calf problem.
As the Sky Blues prepare to take the field at Leichhardt Oval, the sense of anticipation is high. With both squads showing strong depth and milestone moments adding emotional weight, it’s shaping up to be an exciting weekend for Sydney FC. Fans will be hoping for not just memorable performances — but also victories that keep the club’s early-season momentum rolling.
