The A-League All Stars are back in 2024, and for the first time ever will include an A-League All Stars Women side – as the stars of the A-Leagues get set to take on giants of English football as part of Global Football Week Melbourne.
From today, fans can help decide which stars of the A-Leagues will be selected in the A-League All Stars Men squad to face Newcastle United FC, or in the first-ever A-League All Stars Women squad to take on three-time Women Super League champions Arsenal Women FC.
Whether it’s a side focused on the next generation of stars (Nestory Irankunda, Alex Paulsen, Thomas Waddingham, Clayton Taylor) or a selection of the best-performed players from across the season (Bruno Fornaroli, Josh Nisbet, Adam Taggart, Daniel Penha) – or a combination of both – it’s up to the fans to have their say.
For the history-making women, will the first ever A-League All Stars Women squad see Cortnee Vine, Kyan Simon, Tameka Yallop, Lydia Williams versus CommBank Matildas Caitlin Foord, Kyra Cooney-Cross, Steph Catley, and will we see the next generation of stars (Daniela Galic, Maddie Caspers, Indiana Dos Santos) picked to play on the world stage?
Cast your vote now to contribute to the overall selection of the A-League All Stars squads for 2024. Fans will be able to vote HERE and select 15 players in the men’s and women’s squads, consisting of;
1 Goalkeeper, 4 Defenders, 3 Midfielders, 3 Forwards and 4 Additional Rising Stars (under-23).
Commenting on All Stars fan voting, A-League Commissioner Nick Garcia said;
“The 2024 A-Leagues All Stars doubleheader is set to be an exciting event which will showcase our best and brightest talent from across the Isuzu UTE A-League Men and Liberty A-League Women to the world.
“Allowing our fans the opportunity to play a role in the selection of each squad is a crucial aspect of the All Stars concept – we love their passion for the game and the stars they watch each week.
“The excitement for the 2024 All Stars matches is already growing and we can’t wait to get fans’ feedback and announce the squads in the coming weeks.”
Voting closes on April 15, 2024, and players with the highest votes in each category will be presented to the A-Leagues All Stars Women’s and Men’s coaches who will take into consideration the fans’ votes.
