Spurs in Melbourne | Scott and Mile attend launch of Global Football Week

Scott Munn and Mile Jedinak attended the official launch of Melbourne's Global Football Week on Tuesday morning, local time, ahead of our post-season friendly match against Newcastle United in May.

Announced here in the UK on Monday evening, we take on the Toon at Melbourne's iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Wednesday 22 May, kick-off 7.45pm local time.

It means a return 'home' for Ange Postecoglou, who played (1978-1993) and managed South Melbourne (1996-2000) before a later season in charge of Melbourne Victory (2012/13) and then four years as Head Coach of Australia.

Mile, Ange's captain with the Socceroos and now his Assistant Coach at Spurs, joined Scott, our Chief Football Officer, at the special launch event at Tennis HQ in Melbourne's Olympic Park, where they were joined by dignitaries including Australia’s Minister for Sports and Tourism, Steve Dimopoulos, and APL Independent Chair, Stephen Conroy.
