South Australian football fans will be able to get up close and personal with their heroes including Mile Jedinak, Tim Cahill, Mat Ryan, Aaron Mooy and Ryan McGowan at the Caltex Socceroos Fan Day at Adelaide Oval on Tuesday evening.
The gates of Adelaide Oval will be thrown open for fans to watch Coach Ange Postecoglou put the team through a training session in the lead up to Thursday night’s 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Tajikistan before the players sign autographs for fans.
The Caltex Socceroos Fan Day has been a popular part of the team’s community engagement before matches all over Australia with the likes of players signing autographs for fans at the end of the one hour training session.
Fan attending the Socceroos Fan Day will also be able to take part in a host of activities from 4pm with merchandise and poster giveaways for fans before the team starts its training session at 5pm.
“Spending time with the fans is one of the important parts of the lead up to each match we play in Australia,” said Caltex Socceroos Head Coach Ange Postecoglou. “The current Socceroos are also role models to the many young football fans out there who dream of one day becoming a Socceroo and its always great to see the support we receive back home.”
