The right decision for the community, the National Team, the City of Melbourne global brand, the country.
Every major city needs fan zones and events to cheer on our national team in the most important sporting event there is. Moments that bring us all together, build sense of community, and last a lifetime.

At the same time, I will stress that I don’t support any behaviour from anyone, football fan or otherwise, that puts the safety of anyone at risk.
Every Aussie should have the opportunity to watch the Socceroos at our most important public venues, to express their passion and pride, safely and joyously.
Kids, families, everyone.
The NSW Govt has this morning confirmed events in Tumbalong Park, and others will do the same.
Well done all, for the right decision.
The World Cup should bring us together, not keep us apart.
