Tomorrow night’s likely sellout Sydney derby is in doubt with more torrential rain forecast and the Netstrata Jubilee Stadium already at ‘water holding capacity’.

Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers supporters will be awaiting a decision on whether the game will be postponed after the Sydney area experienced flash flooding and road closures on Friday.

Up to 130mm of rain fell on Sydney on Friday and some areas are set to receive 100mm on Saturday according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

A pitch inspection tomorrow morning will decide if the match can go ahead. A Sydney announcement read “Due to the extreme weather conditions we are currently experiencing, and the predicted forecast for more torrential rain, the match officials, representatives from the FFA, Netstrata Jubilee Stadium and Sydney FC will conduct a pitch inspection on Saturday morning.

“Following the inspection a decision will be announced to all stakeholders in regards to the match scheduled to kick off at 5pm AEDT.”

“The pitch surface at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium is currently in good condition and draining is expected, not unlike other professional football pitches, however it is at water holding capacity,” the spokeswoman told The Sydney Morning Herald.

“The volume of rainfall between now and the scheduled A-League game tomorrow will determine whether the pitch will be playable for the derby.”

With Sydney FC set to begin their Asian Champions League in the coming weeks, the Sky Blues will be hoping to avoid a postponement that would add to an already congested schedule.
