The path to a record fourth Hyundai A-League Premiership is clear for the Sky Blues, as they restart the season against the Wellington Phoenix at Kogarah's Netstrata Jubilee Stadium on July 17 and close the season at ANZ Stadium against Brisbane Roar on August 10.
A first-up win against the Phoenix, one of only two teams who can catch Steve Corica's men, will leave Sydney FC needing a single point to secure the record feat of four Premiers Plate wins.
The Sky Blues' Head Coach said he was pleased to have the draw clear, as he looks forward to picking up where the club left off in March when the season was halted.
"It's perfect timing to face Wellington, if we beat them we go even further ahead of the pack and very close to clinching the Premiership," Corica said.
"That's the perfect start for us. I'm looking forward to it. It's been a long time out. The boys are keen to get back into it and play a proper game.
"I'm thrilled to have the season back up and running and we're all counting down to July 17."
