Under the guidance of new coach Branko Culina, the team finished third in the league, narrowly missing out on the top spot by just two points behind the premiers and eventual champions, Melbourne Knights. In the final series, Sydney United defeated West Adelaide Sharks 2–1 over two legs in the Elimination Semi-Final. However, their campaign was ultimately cut short when they were eliminated by South Melbourne in the Minor Semi-Final 3-1. The team's performance in the Johnny Walker Cup was less successful, with an early exit in the first round at the hands of Brisbane Strikers 3–2 over two legs. Sydney United's Youth team had a phenomenal year. They won the Northern Division Grand Final, defeating the AIS 2-1, and then went on to claim the National Youth League Championship with a 1–0 victory over Melbourne Knights.Nimac Ivan Dusevic Sime
