Forecast data from APL indicates that on Saturday, the WBGT at CommBank Stadium is expected to exceed these thresholds at kick-off (4:40pm AEDT).
Considering these circumstances, the APL, after discussions with both clubs, has decided to postpone the match to prioritise the safety and well-being of players, officials, and fans. The fixture will be rescheduled for a later date agreed upon by all parties involved.
The Isuzu UTE A-League Men’s match set for Saturday night between Western Sydney Wanderers and Melbourne Victory, kicking off at 7:30pm AEDT at the same venue, will proceed as planned. The APL’s weather forecast indicates that the WBGT should remain below the critical thresholds at that time.
