The 2024 A-Leagues All Stars Men game was the fourth edition of the A-Leagues All Stars Game, and the first since the 2022 Game. It will be held at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on 24 May 2024 against English club Newcastle United.

Pre-match[edit]

In March 2024, the A-Leagues announced that the A-League All Stars Men would play Newcastle United at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on 24 May 2024 – shortly ahead of the 2024 A-League Men Grand Final.[1] In addition, an A-Leagues All Stars Women game would be held for the first time, against Arsenal, immediately after the men's game at the same venue.[2] Newcastle would also play Tottenham Hotspur at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in a friendly two days before the All Stars game.[3] The official kit partner was announced to be Kappa.[4]

Squads[edit]

The A-League All Stars Men squad will initially consist of 23 to 26 players, as selected by the coaching staff, before being finalised to an 18 to 20 player squad.[5] Only a maximum of four players per club can be chosen.[5] Nestory Irankunda and Daniel Penha were announced to be the first two players to be selected in the squad as voted by fans.[4][6] On 14 May 2024, Patrick Kisnorbo was named head coach of the A-League All Stars Men, with Robert Stanton and Mark Milligan as assistant coaches and Michael Theo as goalkeeping coach.[7]

A 13-player preliminary squad selected by Kisnorbo was announced on 15 May. Penha withdrew due to personal reasons.[8] Following the season's semi-finals on 20 May, Kisnorbo added eight players from Sydney FC and Wellington Phoenix to finalise a 21-player squad for the match.[9] Around the same day, Newcastle United's head coach Eddie Howe announced a 29-player squad for the matches against Tottenham Hotspur and the A-League Men All Stars.[10] Garang Kuol featured as the only Australian player for The Magpies from their 2023–24 season.[11]
