How to watch full replay of Westfield Matildas v Netherlands, FFA Cup Final & Socceroos feature on Saturday

Following the huge success of the recent replay of the Socceroos’ FIFA World Cup victory over Uruguay in 2005, Football Federation Australia (FFA) today announced an Easter treat for football fans.

Saturday Night Football comes to the FFA social channels tomorrow (11 April), with a blockbuster evening of football action. It will feature an Archie Thompson and Simon Hill special reliving the Socceroos’ world record win over American Samoa; a full replay of the Westfield Matildas’ pulsating Algarve Cup clash with the Netherlands from 2017; followed by the classic 2016 FFA Cup Final between Melbourne City and Sydney FC.

FFA Chief Executive James Johnson said he hoped the evening of action will keep fans happy and connected over the Easter holiday, “We know just how tough this Easter will be for all Australians as we continue to abide by government guidelines and practice social distancing.  For our football fans, it will mean sitting at home yearning for some football action in what is usually a weekend packed with football from all parts of the globe. 

“We’ve decided to bring you a whole evening to celebrate some great moments in Australian football, and I encourage the whole football family to settle in tomorrow night with a cup of tea and a hot cross bun and get involved.
