West Coast Eagles v Adelaide | Kids Takeover Round
Friday, July 3 | 6.10pm (AWST) | Optus Stadium / Whadjuk
Gates open 4.30pm
Friday night footy is back! Join us at Optus Stadium this Friday at 6.10pm as we take on the Adelaide Crows.
As part of Kids Footy Month across the AFL, we're letting the kids take over everything! From a junior clinic curtain raiser, to 23 junior mascots, our junior members will be at the centre of the action all evening.
The fun doesn't stop at the final siren. Kids Takeover continues at Eagles HQ on Monday, July 6, with a day of family fun at Mineral Resources Park from 10.00am to 4.30pm. Come down and join the takeover!
Remember that the Suburban Event Bus Network will not be operating before this match. Instead, you will need to catch a regular timetabled bus to the city, where you can transfer to a train to Perth Stadium Station.
