AFC Champions League[edit]
International Women's Club Championship[edit]
The W-League was represented in the third edition of the International Women's Club Championship, known for sponsorship reasons as the Nestlé Cup.
Melbourne Victory (the winners of the 2013–14 season) participated in the tournament, which took place from 30 November until 8 December 2013, and finished in sixth place (out of 6 teams).
National teams[edit]
Men's senior[edit]
Australia played five friendlies ahead of the AFC Asian Cup. They recorded their 5th consecutive loss against Belgium at Stade Maurice Dufrasne in Liège[8] but snapped the losing streak with their second win in the Ange Postecoglou era against Saudi Arabia at Craven Cottage in London.[9] The Socceroos didn't succeed in their friendlies in the Persian Gulf, as they were held to a goalless draw against the United Arab Emirates on a hot and humid evening at Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi[10] and 4 days later lost to Qatar at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha in their 500th international match.[11] In their last friendly before the AFC Asian Cup, Australia lost to Japan at Nagai Stadium in Osaka, despite dominating the hosts in the first half.[12]
Two months after being crowned champions of Asia, Australia played a pair of friendlies in Europe. In the first match they were close to upsetting world champions Germany at Fritz-Walter-Stadion in Kaiserslautern, but finished the match as a draw.[13] In the following week they drew against Macedonia at Philip II Arena in Skopje, despite easily being the better side.[14]
