Sunday’s A-League clash between Brisbane Roar and Perth Glory is off, with the fixture postponed as a result of the three-day lockdown imposed by the Western Australian and Queensland governments.
Perth and the Peel region entered a snap 72-hour lockdown from Friday midnight WST after a man contracted COVID-19 while staying at one of WA’s quarantine hotels – Mercure Perth.
A close contact the man stayed with after his hotel quarantine period ended also tested positive to COVID-19.
The lockdown is due to end at midnight WST on Monday.
The Roar-Glory encounter was to have been played at the Moreton Daily Stadium and details of the rescheduled match will be announced at a later date.
Meanwhile, Saturday night’s AFL clash between Fremantle and North Melbourne at Optus Stadium will go ahead but without crowds.

There is one single midweek slot left for both teams so Id expect the game to be on Wed June 2. Roar and probably many teams are maxed out now couldn't handle any more games postponed. Moon would be smart to start giving minutes to a few bench players (Parsons for one) in prep for a big string of matches coming.
