Top-ranked A-League club Western United hits financial turbulence

A property development company with close ties to the A-League club has been hit with a winding-up order over unpaid bills.

The future of Australia’s top-ranked professional soccer team is under a cloud with creditors attempting to wind up two companies that underpin Melbourne’s Western United A-League club.

Western United’s surge to second on the A-League ladder has been achieved despite the fact the football club has been losing money, with its financial future hinging on a long-delayed property development project about 25 kilometres west of Melbourne at Tarneit.
