Macarthur FC, born and bred in the Macarthur

Macarthur FC, born and bred in the Macarthur

Last Wednesday I was invited to the launch of the new Hyundai A-League team, which is to be based exclusively in the Macarthur Region. Going in to the event I wasn’t really sure what to expect, perhaps a mingling occasion occasion with an opportunity to catch up with some locals. Well, I’ve got to say, I was blown away. The event was held at the Cube and was sold out! With over 600 people in attendance to witness the start of something big! The new club was launched with fanfare not seen in our parts for a while. Macarthur FC is born and bred Macarthur, with interests from all parts of South West Sydney included. I admit it was a bit tingling to see the intro video of our region depicted so well, and united in one cause. The stakeholders to this point should be congratulated, I’m certain many hours were spent in the bid. I’m sure there’ll be many more in the next years whilst the club pulls itself together in what looks to be a formidable team. I really look forward to the sporting public in Macarthur showing other locations what we can do if a team supports the local region at the expense of all others. It won’t be easy, but I plan to be there match one to see the Macarthur FB Bulls first victory on home soil. One voice, one vision.
