Sydney FC faces SD Raiders in Australia Cup quarter-final

Australia Cup Sydney FC SD Raiders quarter-finals A-League

Sydney FC will face NPL NSW 2 side SD Raiders in the Australia Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, at Fairfield Showground. The match follows Sydney FC’s 4-2 victory over Brisbane Roar in the previous round.

Sydney FC head coach Patrick Kisnorbo may include new striker Oriola Sunday in the squad, following the player's season-long loan from Japanese club RB Omiya. However, the team faces injury concerns, with goalkeeper Harrison Devenish-Meares and winger Abel Walatee both currently sidelined.

SD Raiders enter the match after a penalty shootout victory against A-League side Macarthur FC in the Round of 16. The quarter-final match is scheduled to kick off at 7:30pm AEST and will be broadcast live on Paramount+ in Australia.
