The Toffees will meet three A-League clubs on the two-week tour - Sydney FC on July 10, Melbourne Heart on July 14 and Brisbane Roar on July 17. Everton are best known in Australia as Cahill's team and the midfielder has confirmed he hopes to take part in at least the final two matches of the tour, following his participation in the World Cup with the Socceroos. Cahill, who is ready to sign a contract extension with Everton, said: "I think it's fantastic for the Hyundai A-League and also Everton because Australia's got a massive following of Everton supporters. "I get together and have a lot of signing sessions with the Everton supporters and they come from all corners of Australia. "They're a proud following and I think for a Premier League team like Everton to visit Australia is absolutely massive." Everton boss David Moyes said: "We're looking forward to seeing all the Evertonians in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane as well as other football and sports fans. "The facilities in Australia are first-class which is important to us because the training and the games will be a good part of our pre-season preparations. "Thanks to Tim Cahill, the Aussies know all about Everton and I am sure we'll get a typically warm Australian welcome."
