‘Build a tradition’: A-League risks fan anger by selling grand finals to Sydney | VinceRugari
The A-League has risked the ire of fans from other states by controversially locking in Sydney as the host city for the next three men’s and women’s grand finals as part of a landmark deal with the NSW government.
It means at least until then, the A-Leagues will fall in line with the AFL, who play their grand final at the MCG every year, the NRL, who have traditionally done the same at Accor Stadium but are threatening to take it elsewhere after a dispute with the NSW government over stadium funding, and Super Netball, who recently signed a similar with Visit Victoria.
“Because we have certainty about which city will be hosting the final from a long way out, we are able to build a ‘Festival of Football’ around these major events.”
