\u201cI join sporting fans from across the nation when I express my excitement at their arrival in Sydney and the opportunity to see them in action against the Foxtel A-League All Stars only in Sydney at ANZ Stadium this Sunday.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cA highlight for fans will no doubt be the chance to witness A-League All Star Captain Alessandro Del Piero line up against some of his former Juventus team mates, eleven of whom featured in the recent FIFA World Cup in Brazil.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cBy hosting this champion team, Sydney and NSW will again be on show to the world, confirming our position as Australia’s home of major events. Juventus have an impressive following, with a world-wide fan base of 250 million, including 1.4 million Juventus faithful in Australia,\u201d Mr Stoner said.<\/span><\/div>\n
NSW Minister for Sport and Recreation Stuart Ayres encouraged people attending the match to come early and enjoy the pre-game festivities.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThis match is a must-see and Sydney Olympic Park will be buzzing with excitement as Sydney’s football fans will have a rare opportunity to witness so much international superstar football talent,\u201d Mr Ayres said.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI encourage everyone to take public transport to the game and plan to arrive early to take advantage of the exciting pre-game entertainment and great range of caf\u00e9s, bars and restaurants that will be open extended hours.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
