Preseason and friendlies

Sydney kicked off their pre-season campaign, playing a friendly against NPL NSW 2 team Macarthur Rams. They then took part in a tournament against Premier League teams Newcastle United and West Ham in New Zealand in late July. In late August they travelled to North Queensland to compete in the 2014 Townsville Football Cup during which they took on fellow A-League teams Brisbane Roar and Newcastle Jets as well as hosts Northern Fury.
