Heidelberg United steamrolled their way to the Round of 32 with a strong qualifying campaign, which saw 22 goals scored and just two conceded across their four games.

After an 8-0 beating against Sunbury United FC and a 4-2 win against Brunswick Juventus moved them into Preliminary Round Six, a 4-0 victory over Altona Magic moved them just one game off the Round of 32, where they secured their spot with a 6-0 thumping of Bentleigh Greens SC.
