The 2013 A-League All Stars Game was a football match that took place on 20 July 2013 at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, contested between the A-League All Stars and English Premier League champions Manchester United.

Background[]

Tickets which went on sale earlier in the year sold out in minutes.[1] A Manchester United training session which was open to the public attracted 22,000 people at Allianz Stadium.[2] It is the first time since 1999 that Manchester United have visited Australia.[3] On 18 March 2013, it was announced Melbourne Victory coach Ange Postecoglou will coach the all-stars squad, chosen by fans who voted.[4]

Some A-League players, including Alessandro Del Piero and Emile Heskey, were not able to play due to other commitments.[5]
