Campbelltown Sports Stadium will host big time soccer next month.
The Western Sydney Wanderers will square off against fellow A-League outfit Wellington Phoenix in the FFA Cup Round of 32 on Tuesday, August 2 at Campbelltown Stadium.
The match kick off is scheduled for 8pm.
It will be the first competitive fixture of the 2016/17 season for the Wanderers.
It will give fans the chance to see new signings Steven Lustica, Jerrad Tyson and Bruno Piñatares in action.
Although the Phoenix were drawn as the home team, FFA regulations state that all Westfield FFA Cup matches must be played in Australia.
The last meeting between the two sides was back in April this year, where a Brendon Santalab double gave the Wanderers a 2-0 win at Westpac Stadium on the final day of the 2015/16 season.
The game will not be televised, however it will be shown via livestream on Fox Sports.
