Juan Mata has paid tribute to Melbourne Victory on Instagram, writing that it is not goodbye but see you soon. Football360 reports that Mata, last season’s Johnny Warren Medallist, is now part of the club’s ownership group and is due in Australia in the coming weeks to start its new football committee.

On international duty, Sienna Calvanese and Leyla Hussein are in Australia’s squad for the country’s first match at the FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup. The Junior Matildas kicked off against Chile at five o’clock this morning, Melbourne time, and the match is being shown live on Paramount Plus in Australia.

In the Women’s game, Alana Jančevski’s long-range free kick against Western Sydney is one of four nominees for the A-League Women’s opening-round goal of the week. It was the only goal in Victory’s season-opening win.
