Eh, my people, wetin dey happen so? Sydney FC don knack wahala on top their match wey suppose hold for Leichhardt Oval against Auckland FC o! Dem don call off the game wey too get plenty eyes on am for December 27, 2025. Wetin happen? The pitch wey dey the stadium no gree ajepako, dem talk say e don dey unplayable, and safety no dey!

According to Sebastian Gray, wey na executive vice chairman of Sydney FC, dem dey vex well well say dem no fit carry this Christmas fixture wey suppose dey sweet like sugar. E be like say dem don tire to dey find alternative ground, but this holiday season no allow dem get anything beta.

Inner West Council come talk say the field still dey recover from maintenance wey dem don do for the pitch. No be small wahala as fans wey plan to travel from Auckland don throway their travel plans upandan. Imagine say dem don book flight since Christmas Day na! This one dey scatter ma head!

Gray still talk say: “We sabi say our fans go dey disappointed, especially as we don enjoy six matches for this same ground for this season. We try find better place, but no luck!” Dem don buka ground for other venues, but all dem grounds dey waka under maintenance too!
