Melbourne is the nation’s sporting capital — and nothing will highlight that more in the next few months than when our city hosts two blockbuster clashes.

The biggest names in world basketball will square off when the Australian Boomers take on Team USA in Melbourne in August.

Then a mere month later, the AFL Grand Final will decide this year’s footy premiers.

And thanks to Visit Victoria’s Front Row Melbourne competition, supported by the Herald Sun, you have a chance to snap up some of the best tickets in the house to either of these major sporting events.

The cream of Australia’s basketball crop will take to the court against the United States’ star players in the precursor to the 2019 FIBA World Cup in China at Marvel Stadium on August 22 and 24.

The Herald Sun will be front and centre before, during and after the games, bringing you the latest basketball news and analysis — including everything you need to know about the NBA finals.

With a host of Aussies in the NBA this year, including Patty Mills, Ben Simmons, Andrew Bogut and Matthew Dellavedova, a mighty clash is expected between the Boomers and Team USA in front of around 100,000 fans.

The Herald Sun will also help you stay on top of all the latest footy and SuperCoach action in the lead-up to the AFL finals series.

So, how do you get a shot at winning tickets to either of these major sporting clashes?
