"Following discussions regarding Australia's biggest air show in Townsville, FFA decided to move North Queensland Fury's Saturday match to Sunday to allow fans and their families the ability to catch both of these high-quality events," said Hyundai A-League boss Archie Fraser.

"This has facilitated the move of the Gold Coast United v Melbourne Victory game from 5.30pm to 7.30pm allowing fans of both codes access to view both the AFL Grand Final and this top-billing Hyundai A-League match if they wish."

"We feel that these changes will benefit all parties involved in the Hyundai A-League," finished Fraser.

Changes have no impact on the National Youth League schedule.
