Background

Juventus was officially announced as the opponent for the All-Stars in Sydney on 20 December 2013. On 18 February 2014, it was revealed that former Juventus player and then Sydney FC captain Alessandro Del Piero would captain the All-Stars, marking his inaugural game facing his previous club. Subsequently, on 7 April 2014, Adelaide United's coach Josep Gombau was named head coach of the All-Stars team, which was assembled through fan voting.

Matthew Spiranovic had to withdraw from the squad owing to an ankle injury.
