We as keen followers of Melbourne Victory and football in Australia plead with you to seriously consider the idea of televising the Melbourne Victory vs. China match live on the 4th of July. Melbourne Victory has gone to a tremendous amount of effort to make this game possible and has succeeded fantastically in promoting the game to Victorians and the community at large.

SBSвs dedication to football for many years is much appreciated but choosing not to televise the match would only hinder the opportunities that football has in Australia. This match, although a friendly, will be the biggest match any domestic team in Australia has ever played and choosing not to televise the match would be a shame for football lovers, enthusiasts and keen observers from all across Australia.

By signing this petition you support the idea of SBS televising the Melbourne Victory vs. China match on the 4th of July live.
