The Hyundai A-League welcomes home two of the nation’s greatest exports for its seventh and most anticipated season when Harry Kewell and Brett Emerton make their debut in a blockbuster opening round clash this weekend.
FOX SPORTS will be the only place for fans to witness one of the year’s biggest spectacles when Kewell’s Melbourne Victory hosts Emerton’s Sydney FC at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night.
