Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers play W-League after A-League to help drive interest
Double headers have long been debated by women’s sports fans, who lament the way female athletes are treated as a curtain raiser to men’s sport.
We have even seen a sport like cricket, where the staging of international and Big Bash double headers was once common, outgrow the concept, with the WBBL evolving to a standalone competition.
In football, the W-League and A-League regularly play double headers, but Saturday’s Sydney derby at the Olympic stadium is doing so with a slight twist.
Flipping conventional practice, the A-League game will kick off first (5pm AEDT), with the women following (7:40pm AEDT) at Sydney Olympic stadium
It is not the first time the code has trialled this model, but it is certainly not a regular occurrence.
