  • 2019 – Round Of 16

Quarter Finals in 2021. Semi-Finals in 2022. Can the Roar go one better in 2023? Brisbane experienced their best finish in the Australia Cup in last year’s tournament before suffering a 3-2 extra-time defeat against Sydney United 58 FC.

As intimated, success for the Queensland club in the Australia Cup has been scarce but they will be hoping their fortunes can change.
