Official AFC Women's Asian Cup Live Site Venue Set for Fan Surge in March, starting with the Matildas v Filipinas Clash
Western Sydney's premier hospitality and entertainment venue and Official AFC Women's Asian Cup Live Site - West HQ - is set to become the regions headquarters for Matildas and Filipinas fans as the two teams vie for the Asian Cup.
West HQ had previously gained a reputation locally as the "Home of the Tillys" when it became the Western Sydney base for the Matildas during the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2023. And, with one of the country's largest Filipino populations being located close to West HQ, it is expected also become a central gathering point for the Filipinas fans.
Richard Errington, Chief Executive Officer of West HQ, said the tournament was of great interest to many locals – some of whom will be supporting both sides – and as a result, West HQ is an Official AFC Women's Asian Cup Live Site.
"We are set for a tremendous atmosphere over the coming month as fans come to support their home teams, particularly when the tournament kicks off with the Matildas lining up against the Filipinas," he said.
"We expect to see strong support for both sides, and we're pleased to provide a space where people can come together to celebrate women's sport at the highest level."
To support the tournament atmosphere, the precinct will roll out a series of match-night activations, prize draws and offers designed to bring fans together across the precinct.
