Date Time NPL v A-League clashes in FFA Cup Round of 32 The new FFA Cup Round of 32 format has changed things up in 2021, and one of the results of that was a record number of Member Federation v A-League matches being drawn! Out of the 16 matches in the Round of 32, eight of those will see a National Premier Leagues club host an A-League club. The change comes after a move to a Zone format for the 2021 Round of 32, removing fixed A-League v A-League or Member Federation v Member Federation ties. This has created more unpredictability within the draw, and from the Round of 16, the draw will be completely open nation-wide.
