The Premier of Western Australia has welcomed Leeds United to Perth this morning as Jesse Marsch’s side continue their tour Down Under. Leeds travelled from Brisbane to the west coast of Australia on Tuesday afternoon ahead of Friday’s pre-season clash with Crystal Palace at the Optus Stadium.
United will be taking part in the Perth’s Festival of International Football and the club will be holding a number of events in the suburb city of Fremantle over the next couple of days. The first event held was at Gage Roads Brewery with the Premier of WA, Mark McGowan, and the Mayor of Fremantle, Hannah Fitzhardinge.
The pair spoke about welcoming Leeds back to the state, three years after their last visit, and the impact they hope the festival of sport can have, particularly as the country continues to open up after a strict Covid lockdown. Jesse Marsch also took the opportunity to greet the Perth media and he acknowledged to the state’s indigenous people.
