MELBOURNE Victory will have a home-town rival next year with a licence for a new A-League team expected to be granted within days.
The consortium headed by businessman Peter Sidwell has put Mark Viduka at the head of its wish list.

Sources last night said an announcement would be made within days and the new team would make its debut in the 2010-11 season, most likely with an August local derby.
It's believed the club is looking overseas to recruit senior staff.
"We don't want to cannibalise an existing club in Melbourne Victory, which has done a super job," Sidwell said. "We are under no illusion about the enormity of the job ahead of us.

"The name of the team will be up for grabs and we need to lure a whole new band of soccer lovers."
The public is expected to help name the club, which has a working title of Melbourne Heart.
The club would join Victory as a tenant of the rectangular stadium being built on Swan St.
