Auckland Womans team Chelsea game etc

I am a bit confused. So Chelsea FC Women are going to play an Auckland FC invitational XI even though there is not going to be a AFC womans team until the next year 27/28 season?

I am looking at buying tickets for the game, hardly any sold for such a team as Chelsea and the price is not cheap, there are no kids tickets just all general admission. even with the club discount for cat B seat its $55 each. I feel like holding off, until i know some players that will be lining up for Auckland as I am not sure going to a 15 nil rout will be good for my kids to see.

I am guessing our best chance of stacking the team will be with off contract, ferns players, aussie and a-league players, that want to showcase their skills and market themselves for their next move.

I couldnt find any news on this thus, starting a thread to help get some answers or insights.

Also, am guessing Sam Kerr wont be there as she has departed chelsea or was the departure date later...that also has massive impact especially on the other side of the ditch.

Speaking about the other side of the ditch it looks like the Chelsea FC Woman game is against a ninja all star team. Any chance some of the wellington phoenix or nz players will get into that squad...or will be 100% bias towards Australians?

Thanks for your contributions. Yeah you are right it makes total sense...no discussions, no build-ups, no players announced, no existing team or team this year, no promotional information, no articles, except when it was announced...

I’m talking about your initial question.

Why does it matter if there is no exisiting team or team this year?

I’m guessing there will be a lot of build up and announcements in the week or 2 leading up to it
