Live: Wellington Phoenix v Melbourne City, A-League women Grand Final

Follow all the action, as Wellington Phoenix take on Melbourne City for the A-League women's Grand Final at AAMI Park in Melbourne.

The Phoenix women are playing for more than just a trophy, says head coach Bev Priestman.

Speaking to media at Wellington Airport on Wednesday, Priestman said, as the only professional women's football team in New Zealand, the players felt a huge sense of responsibility.

"I think that's been one of our bigger purposes that we want to put women's professional sport, but we want to put women's football in New Zealand on the map," Priestman said.

"I think for a New Zealand team to be competing, beating Australian teams in football, that's great. We're flying the flag in that sense, but it's not just about representing Wellington, it is about representing New Zealand.

"I think to go and do what we hope to do would be a great feat, and really would put New Zealand football on the map."

Kickoff is 6.15pm NZT
