Harrison Sawyer faces former club South Melbourne in Australia Cup final

Melbourne Victory striker Harrison Sawyer is set to face his former club, South Melbourne, in the Australia Cup final at a sold-out AAMI Park. The match represents a significant personal milestone for Sawyer, who previously played for South Melbourne during two National Premier League stints before his move to Macarthur FC and subsequently to Melbourne Victory.

Sawyer, who served as captain for South Melbourne, described the upcoming fixture as “super special” and one of the most significant games of his career. The match pits the modern A-League side against the former NSL powerhouse, a clash Sawyer characterized as the “new guard against the old club.” While Sawyer expressed support for South Melbourne potentially gaining an A-League berth in the future, he remains focused on the competition, noting that the high stakes and atmosphere make the event a major spectacle for both sides.
