In 2025, 718 clubs from all divisions of football across Australia – grassroots, regional, and professional – have been whittled down to 32 teams contesting the Finals Rounds.

The Draw for the Round of 32 will take place on Wednesday, 25 June 2025 at 7.30pm AEST, hosted by Jake Barker-Daish and Jerome Khalaf from the Suited and Booted Podcast. This event will determine the matchups for Round of 32 and officially launch the Final Rounds.

With semi-professional and community clubs pitted against Australia’s top-tier sides, the Hahn Australia Cup once again sets the stage for thrilling ‘cupsets’ and unforgettable moments right across the country.

Eleven sides from the Isuzu UTE A-League Men competition will participate in the tournament, with the top nine automatically advancing into the Hahn Australia Cup 2025 at the completion of the 2024/25 regular season, while Perth Glory FC and Wellington Phoenix FC won their respective Playoff matches in May.

The remaining 21 clubs come from a wide range of communities across Football Australia’s nine State and Territory Member Federations. Representing a cross-section of Australia’s footballing landscape, these teams embody the spirit of the Hahn Australia Cup and are a true celebration of the game’s diversity and depth.
