The A-Leagues All Star Game is a association football match contested by the A-Leagues All Stars team against an invitee club. The All Stars team is made up of selected A-League Men players. The game is played during the footballing off-season, the first of which was held on 20 July 2013.

After the 2014 edition, the All Star Game was not held for almost a decade, before the concept was revived in 2022 and was expected to continue for at least the 2023, 2024 and 2025 A-League seasons as part of the commercial agreement with the NSW State Government to play a "Football Festival" culminating with the A-League Grand final in Sydney for those three seasons.

Background

On 13 November 2012, it was confirmed that Manchester United would come to Australia and play an all-star team consisting of A-League players.[1] The inaugural A-League All Stars Game took place on 20 July 2013, against Manchester United. The A-League team was picked by an online vote by fans and by the appointed manager. On 20 December 2013, it was confirmed that Juventus would compete against the all-star team for the 2014 game, again hosted in Sydney.[2] On 6 April 2022 it was announced that a third A-League All Stars match would be held against Barcelona on 25 May 2022, again in Sydney.[3][4]

The 2023 edition was under negotiations with Bayern Munich to appear as the foreign club but the APL were unable to fund the multi-million dollar appearance fee.[5]
