Brisbane Roar Football Director Ken Stead was in Townsville today for the launch of the Wingate Townsville Football Cup, alongside Newcastle Jets coach Phil Stubbins and Sydney FC boss Graham Arnold.
“Next season is a big one for us, defending our title and playing in the AFC Champions League, and we-re pleased to have a tournament such as this to aid our preparations,” Stead said.
“As a club, we also recognise the importance of community engagement and visiting those fans around Queensland who support us from afar throughout the Hyundai A-League season and we-re looking forward to it.”
