The ACT government has indicated it will work with Olympic to explore venue options for the club's next round in the competition after a thrilling 2-0 win against Redlands on Thursday night.

There is a four in seven chance Olympic will host an A-League club while the opportunity to clash against Cahill and the Melbourne City looms as a real prospect.

Moving a game to Canberra Stadium in front of a possible 10,000 strong crowd would be a massive jump from the few hundred who watch their Capital Football clashes or the 1000 at the win against Redlands at Deakin Stadium.

Cahill's presence has massive pulling power and Viking Park was bursting at the seams two years ago when Tuggeranong United hosted the Melbourne Victory in front of 5150.

If Olympic play against Cahill and Melbourne City, the only venues capable of hosting more than 10,000 fans are Queanbeyan's Seiffert Oval and Canberra Stadium.

The match would have to fit around the Canberra Raiders' NRL schedule if it was moved to Canberra Stadium and security and amenities would need to be taken into consideration.

But ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr told Fairfax Media he was willing to work with Olympic to see if moving a game to Canberra Stadium was a feasible option.

The ACT government owns Canberra Stadium and it's unlikely Olympic would be able to meet the usual hiring fee.

"But we could have that conversation with them if they felt the crowd was going to exceed the capacity of any other venue in town," Barr said.

"We're open to that, subject to the availability and the condition of it depending on what the Raiders puzzle looks at with the finals."

Olympic is already guaranteed $5000 for making the quarter-finals and gate takings could fill the club's coffers in the next round, with the draw to be finalised on August 30.

The next game would played between September 20 and September 28, which would fit the Canberra Stadium given its the end of the NRL season.

The prospect of hosting Australia's greatest goal scorer in an FFA Cup quarter-final is something Olympic president John Efkarpidis could never have imagined.

"I'm pinching myself, am I dreaming?" Efkarpidis said.

"It would mean a lot for our club. As a club we'll be excited and as players I think the boys are going to be overwhelmed."

If Melbourne City are drawn and Cahill comes to town, the humble stands of Deakin Stadium simply won't cut the mustard.
