GOAL, the annual magazine guide to the A-League soccer season, will be published with The Sunday Age this weekend, on August 1.

The big news event for this season is the arrival of an additional Melbourne team – Melbourne Heart.

The cover of GOAL will feature the two Melbourne teams, and inside the publication our various experts, including soccer writer Michael Lynch, assess what Heart's impact will be in its first season and how the new team will affect support for the established Melbourne Victory operation.

GOAL also looks at some of the emerging stars of the A-League, profiles every team in the league (there are now 11), and carries a season fixture.
