Wallabies, Argentina Set For Allianz Showdown

Via <a href="https://waratahs.rugby/news/2025-super-rugby-pacific-draw-revealed-2024929" data-new-window="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">waratahs.rugby</a>
The 2025 Super Rugby Pacific fixtures have been revealed, and anticipation is building as the NSW Waratahs prepare to make their mark. With new head coach Dan McKellar at the helm, the Waratahs are entering a fresh chapter, bolstered by several key signings who are raring to go in the sky-blue jersey.
Fans will have the perfect opportunity to witness how their team shapes up early in the season, with Allianz Stadium hosting the Waratahs' first three matches.
The home crowd will no doubt provide a significant boost as the team kicks off their campaign on Friday night, Valentine’s Day, with a special clash against the Highlanders.
Just a fortnight later, the Fijian Drua will bring their song, dance, and festivities to Allianz Stadium for Culture Round, followed by the Western Force the next week. After these three home fixtures, the Waratahs will head off to Brisbane to face the Reds.

Waratahs Announce 2025 Super Rugby Schedule

The Minns Labor Government and the Sydney Roosters have today announced an inaugural Emergency Services NRL Event to be held each year beginning this year at Allianz Stadium on Sunday, September 1 2024.
This new marquee fixture will highlight the commitment and selflessness of emergency service personnel, first responders, medical professionals, and volunteers from NSW’s emergency&nbsp;services.
The Emergency Services Event will bring together the&nbsp;NSW Police Force, NSW Ambulance, Fire and Rescue NSW, NSW Rural Fire Service, Surf Life Saving NSW, NSW State Emergency Service, Marine Rescue NSW and VRA Rescue NSW.&nbsp;
Initiated by the Sydney Roosters, the September 1&nbsp;event will showcase a triple-header at Allianz Stadium, with NSW Police and the Australian Firefighters going head-to-head in the opening match, followed by the Roosters’ NRL and NRLW teams playing the Canberra Raiders.
Each year, the event will spotlight one agency, and for the inaugural year, that honour goes to the NSW Police.&nbsp;
The NSW Police will lead a pre-game show,&nbsp;showcasing their breadth of excellence and experience. Highlights will include a police helicopter display, abseiling from the stadium roof, involvement from the riot and dog squads, a marching band, and much more.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The precinct outside the stadium will be a hive of activity. All participating emergency services agencies will have activations, equipment and representatives ready to welcome attendees.&nbsp;
Emergency services staff, first responders and medical professionals have also been invited to attend the event as the Roosters and NRL community unite to say a heartfelt thank you to our emergency service heroes.&nbsp;
Premier of NSW Chris Minns said:
"This is a great opportunity to honour the heroes who protect and serve our communities every day. Their dedication and bravery are unparalleled, and this event is a fantastic way to show our appreciation."
"Every single day these workers put their own lives on the line to keep us safe and this is a great way for us to show them the appreciation they deserve.”
Minister for Sport Steve Kamper said:
"This event is a testament to what we can achieve when we come together. The support from all the emergency services agencies has been incredible, and we are excited to see this become an annual tradition.&nbsp;
“We believe the public will get behind the inaugural event and turn it into the NRL’s next major marquee match, alongside the Anzac Day Cup.”
Minister for Police Yasmin Catley said:
“The NSW Police are the unsung heroes of our community; they go above and beyond, often risking their own personal safety in the line of duty.&nbsp;
“This is a chance to celebrate and show our support for these brave officers. It’ll also be a wonderful opportunity to showcase the capability of the NSW Police Force.”
Sydney Roosters CEO Joe Kelly said:&nbsp;
“Community is at the core of everything we do at the Sydney Roosters, and we are excited to host our inaugural Emergency Services Event. This special occasion is dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating the incredible work of our frontline emergency services.&nbsp;
“We have been inspired by the support and collaboration of all eight emergency service organisations and Venues NSW, making this celebration truly exceptional. Held on Father’s Day, this event promises to become a marquee fixture on the Sydney sporting calendar.”

Sydney FC secure home Elimination Final 

The NSW Government is today announcing the lifting of the archaic SCG precinct concert cap from an average of 4 events a year to 20 events a year – putting an end to these restrictions that have stifled the NSW economy and its cultural lifeblood.&nbsp;
 
These additional sixteen concerts are estimated to inject up to $120 million a year into the NSW visitor economy, which will mean billions of dollars secured for NSW over the lifetime of the stadium.&nbsp;
 
These restrictions were introduced over 20 years ago following a Rolling Stones concert at the SCG. But in a modern and global city like Sydney, these restrictions are no longer fit for purpose.&nbsp;
 
The concert cap changes have been subject to a rigorous eight-month community and stakeholder engagement process.&nbsp;
 
Of the 20 major events per year, 2 will be permitted to operate as 10-hour festivals, such as Wave Aid, between the hours of 10am and 11pm.&nbsp;
 
The new conditions have been imposed on the existing development approvals for the new stadium to manage and mitigate the impacts of noise, traffic and parking raised in consultation.&nbsp;
 
No other changes will be made to the normal 11pm concert curfew, sporting events, maximum venue capacity, or transport arrangements.&nbsp;
 
Since opening in 2022, Allianz Stadium, has hosted Bruno Mars, Elton John, Paul McCartney and Robbie Williams concerts. American singer-songwriter Pink is also scheduled to perform two shows in February.&nbsp; 
 
Sydney’s stadium network caters to artists of all sizes, which includes Sydney’s major event venue, Accor Stadium, which has a capacity up to 100,000 for concerts. 
 
The venue will host four Taylor Swift concerts in February, as well as major sporting events including the Bledisloe Cup and State of Origin.&nbsp; 
 
NSW Premier Chris Minns said: “NSW is well and truly open for business. This is a huge win for the NSW economy, and it’s great for live music.&nbsp; 
 
“For too long NSW has missed out on world class acts because of an archaic restriction that killed fun in our city and hurt the economy.&nbsp; 
 
“Sydney is Australia’s only global city and now it will finally be able to host more global acts on the world stage.”&nbsp; 
 
Minister for Music and the Night-time Economy, Minister for Jobs and Tourism John Graham said: “After successive governments have tied up our visitor and night-time economy in onerous red tape, we are taking off the shackles, and making the most of our incredible venues.”&nbsp; 
 
“This is about securing more live music for Sydney and ensuring our spot as the premier destination of the Asia Pacific. 
 
“This year alone, we have Pink, Taylor Swift, Coldplay, and The Kid Laroi performing in our stadiums in Sydney, following on from Foo Fighters, Ed Sheeran, Paul McCartney, Elton John, KISS and Harry Styles shows last year.”&nbsp; 
 
Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said: “We’ve listened to the feedback and lifted these restrictions on concert capacity, so that we can get the most from this venue, while including conditions on the approval that takes into account local issues like noise, traffic, parking and social impacts.&nbsp; 
 
“We will continue to work with Venues NSW to get the best outcome for concert goers and the local community.”&nbsp; 
 
Minister for Sport, Minister for Small Business Steve Kamper said: “We have the best stadium network in Australia and it’s time we start using our venues to their full potential.&nbsp; 
 
“The red tape that has hampered our ability to host concerts at Allianz Stadium and the SCG has cost this state hundreds of millions of dollars. That red tape is officially gone and Sydney can now secure more live music than ever before.&nbsp; 
 
“By unlocking the stadium, we are also unlocking millions of dollars of economic activity for our local visitor economy and surrounding businesses.”&nbsp; 
 
Dion Brant, CEO, Frontier Touring said: "Frontier Touring welcomes the changes for the Allianz Stadium precinct. The ability to host more stadium concerts each year will ensure Sydney is kept forefront of any discussions with artists planning to visit Australia. As stadium concerts are proven to generate millions of dollars in revenue to local communities this decision benefits not just the artist and promoter, but countless local NSW businesses.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 
Michael Coppel, Chairman, Live Nation Australasia said: "By giving Allianz Stadium the green light to hold more events, the Minns Government is taking a logical step to ensure that Sydney-siders won't miss a beat when it comes to experiencing the world's biggest musical acts and events. The move allows promoters to host even more major events, while generating even greater economic benefits for NSW."&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 
Geoff Jones, CEO, TEG said: “TEG welcomes the NSW Government’s move to lift the concert cap at the Allianz Stadium precinct, which will help deliver even more live music for Sydney and provide further economic benefit for NSW. We are developing a pipeline of tours and shows for the period 2024 through to 2026 and it is looking extremely exciting. We are delighted to see this world-class facility hosting more globally-recognised artists for Australian fans”.

A-Leagues Unite Round heading to Sydney

Football Australia has today announced that Allianz Stadium in Sydney will host the Australia Cup Final 2023 between Sydney FC and Brisbane Roar FC on Saturday, 7 October (7.45pm AEDT).
With Football Australia aiming for a new record attendance at an Australia Cup Final – currently standing at 18,751 (Melbourne City FC vs Sydney FC, 2016 Final) – fan and family-friendly tickets prices have been set for this Final.
Tickets start at $12 Junior, $15 Concession, $25 Adult, and $65 Family and will go on Football Account and Club Pre-Sales at 2.00pm AEST on Thursday, 28 September, with General Public On-Sale at 2.00pm AEST on Friday, 29 September via Ticketek.
The host city and match day venue for the Australia Cup Final is at the discretion of Football Australia, where venue suitability and availability are key factors in any determination.
With Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium unavailable on the weekend of October 7 and October 8, Ballymore Stadium under renovation with a reduced capacity, and Kayo Stadium’s (Redcliffe, QLD) capacity at 10,000, Football Australia confirmed Allianz Stadium as the most suitable venue to host this year’s Final.
The Australia Cup is the only competition in Australian sport where amateur clubs get the opportunity to compete against the sport’s premier clubs, in their shared vision of being crowned Cup Winners. In 2023, a record number of 775 clubs competed in this year’s competition, with two remaining: Sydney FC and Brisbane Roar FC.
This will be Sydney FC’s fourth Australia Cup (formerly FFA Cup) Final appearance (2016, 2017, 2018, 2023) and Brisbane Roar FC’s first time qualifying for the big dance.
The Australia Cup Final 2023 will be broadcast live and free on 10, 10 Bold in Perth, and 10 Play, thanks to Football Australia’s broadcast partner, Network 10.

NRL Draw: Roosters Unveil 2023 Fixtures

SYDNEY FC MEDIA RELEASE: Sydney Derby To Be Hottest In History
Saturday’s Sydney Derby between Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers is set the be the most fierce and passionate on record, as it returns to Allianz Stadium for the first time in nearly five years.
A near capacity attendance is expected as seven-year Sky Blue Milos Ninkovic returns to play in front of the fans who once adored him. Tickets are selling fast with many areas of the stadium already sold-out.&nbsp;
Ninkovic’s off-season switch to cross-town rivals Western Sydney Wanderers took Sky Blue fans by surprise and his return is set to intensify the already white-hot atmosphere between the two teams and sets of supporters.
 
<figure data-asset-id="c9cd8427-5dd6-45b6-a1ad-a3f9c1af23ad" data-image-id="c9cd8427-5dd6-45b6-a1ad-a3f9c1af23ad"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/e307b94e-9778-0165-5876-55124475924d/91320bba-50e7-4e3d-9017-7e3d55146337/Ninkovic.jpg" data-asset-id="c9cd8427-5dd6-45b6-a1ad-a3f9c1af23ad" data-image-id="c9cd8427-5dd6-45b6-a1ad-a3f9c1af23ad" alt=""></figure>
Then and now: One-time Sydney FC hero &nbsp;Milos Ninkovic linked with the Wanderers ahead of the 2022/23 season.
 
“It’s going to be electric, intense, dirty, nasty, antagonistic, whatever you want to call it; both teams will be up for it and ready to fight for every ball,” said Sydney FC skipper Luke Brattan.
“There’s absolutely no love lost between us and them, particularly after recent events, and we are going to make sure they know about it.&nbsp;&nbsp;
“Alex Brosque once said, ‘When we go out there we hate every single one of them,’ and that rhetoric still rings true today.&nbsp;
“Make no mistake, this will be the hottest Sydney Derby in history and I can’t wait to play in it.”
Sydney FC Chief Executive Officer Adam Santo expects drama and excitement on and off the pitch.
“This is surely going to be the most memorable Sydney derby ever played. It will be a ‘where were you moment’, one which supporters will talk about for years to come.

Main attraction: Alessandro Del Piero weaves his magic in an early instalment of the Sydney Derby
 
“We’ve got something special planned pre-match and so does our active supporters, come kick off, the atmosphere inside the stadium will be explosive. 
 
“The volume of special requests we have received to bring special items into the stadium is unprecedented. We are being careful with what we approve and decline.
“We are determined for our first win back at Allianz Stadium to be against our rivals. I am sure the Wanderers will be doing everything to make sure that doesn’t happen. 
 
“Bring on Saturday night. Whether you are sky blue or red &amp; black, you do not want to miss out on this one. This Sydney Derby will be one for the ages.”&nbsp;
Sydney FC sit sixth on the ladder, three points behind Western Sydney Wanderers who are in 2nd place.

 Sydney Derby To Be 'Hottest In History'

The NSW Waratahs’ fixtures for the 2023 Harvey Norman Super Rugby Pacific season have been revealed.
The NSW Waratahs open their tenure at the brand-new Allianz Stadium against the Brumbies.
The 2023 draw will see all 12 teams play 14 matches during the regular season, 11 round-robin fixtures, and three additional rivalry matches, which will see each team play a home and away series against three other teams.
After spending the past four seasons playing out of multiple venues across Sydney and its greater metropolitan area, the Waratahs will return home to Allianz Stadium for all home matches in 2023.
Darren Coleman’s team is set to open their campaign at home in Round 1 with a blockbuster clash against traditional rivals the Brumbies on Friday, February 24.
The Waratahs’ home fixtures then include the Chiefs (Round 5), Force (Round 8), Highlanders (Round 10), Rebels (Round 12), Fijian Drua (Round 13), before rounding out the season against Moana Pasifika (Round 15).
“We are finally home," said NSW Waratahs' CEO Paul Doorn.&nbsp;
“I’d like to thank our members, fans, partners, and Venues NSW for their continued support through the re-development of Allianz Stadium and cannot wait to usher in a new era for the Waratahs and NSW Rugby when we host the Brumbies.
“Our home at Allianz Stadium is the envy of the competition, offering a game-day rugby experience like no other in the country.

Waratahs-Brumbies Blockbuster Headlines Homecoming

Global pop phenomenon Robbie Williams returns to Australia in November 2023 to play five headline dates across the country.&nbsp;
Touring our shores for the first time since 2018, Robbie takes in Sydney’s newly renovated Allianz Stadium, before playing Mount Cotton’s Sirromet Wines, Melbourne’s AAMI Park, Geelong’s Mt Duneed Estate and Swan Valley’s Nikola Estate.&nbsp;
"Australasia is one of my favourite places in the world to tour; I feel so at home there and hugely appreciate the warm, loving welcome I always receive. I can't wait to do these shows in 2023 and spend some time with my fans", says Robbie.&nbsp;
Robbie Williams is without doubt one of the finest male pop stars of his generation, having sold over 85 million albums, 14 UK number one albums (the most for any solo artist, equalled only by Elvis Presley) and 14 number one singles as a solo artist. With an unparalleled catalogue of pop hits including Angels, Rock DJ, Kids (with Kylie Minogue), Feel, Better Man, Love My Life, Supreme and countless more career-defining smash singles, the Let Me Entertain You superstar does exactly that!&nbsp;
With his new album XXV released earlier this month, Robbie celebrates twenty-five years as a solo artist. A journey through his career-defining catalogue, featuring multiple No.1 hit singles and fan favourites, the songs of XXV offer a fresh and illuminating perspective.&nbsp;
“He is Robbie f***ing Williams; he’s a national treasure.” – DIY Mag&nbsp;
“So rarely, these days, do you see someone Smash It to such a high and palpable degree. So rarely does it feel as though the stars – man, mood and moment – align to create such pure, concentrated entertainment.” – VICE&nbsp;
“There was so much joy and frivolity in this concert that it's hard to know where to begin…” – Sydney Morning Herald&nbsp;
Do not miss the ultimate showman, Robbie Williams, live in concert when he returns to Australia and New Zealand in November 2023!

Premier Dominic Perrottet declared the state-of-the-art Stadium open with the unveiling of a commemorative plaque before the first fans made their way through the turnstiles.

“On Friday, 2&nbsp;September our female athletes will create Australian sporting history,&nbsp;with the NRL Telstra Women’s Premiership marking the first official sporting event at&nbsp;the new stadium between the Sydney Rooster and St George Illawarra Dragons, before the Sydney Roosters face their oldest and fiercest rivalry, the South Sydney&nbsp;Rabbitohs,” Mr Henskens said.
“With the final piece of turf now laid and the last seats in place, the stadium has the best&nbsp;community and player facilities in the country, and I can’t wait for everyone to enjoy it.”
The 42,500 seat stadium has a 360-degree open concourse inside and outside the venue, steep seating angles providing unrivalled views of the field, and the very best
Merivale food and beverage offering.
Minister for Tourism Ben Franklin said the new stadium will drive growth in the visitor economy and promote a strong cultural and sporting sector.
“Allianz Stadium will&nbsp;become the stage for some of the music world’s biggest stars,&nbsp;including pop sensation Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber and the legendary Sir Elton John,”&nbsp;Mr Franklin said.
“We’re&nbsp;expecting sellout after sellout in the opening months which will provide a significant boost to the NSW visitor economy.”
Allianz Australia Managing Director Richard Feledy added:&nbsp;“As we mark ten years since Allianz’s&nbsp;commitment to the original Allianz Stadium, we are very proud to bring communities together again through this new world-class precinct. Now open to the public, Allianz Stadium Sydney joins the Allianz family of stadiums around the world.
“Allianz has been supporting Australians for over 100 years and we are thrilled to officially welcome visitors to the new Allianz Stadium to witness history, share in the&nbsp;electricity and create lifelong memories.”

Allianz Stadium Officially Open

Five legendary Australians are recognised in Allianz Stadium’s Ring of Champions, a modern celebration of sporting greats around the concourse of the state-of-the-art venue.
Minister for Sport Alister Henskens today announced that Arthur Beetson, Ron Coote, Betty Cuthbert, Nick Shehadie and Johnny Warren are the first five honourees at Allianz Stadium, which will officially open on Sunday.&nbsp;
Mr Henskens was joined by Mr Coote and friends and family of the other honourees at Allianz Stadium on Thursday to confirm their inclusion.
“Betty Cuthbert’s feat of winning Olympic Gold in the 100m, 200m and 400m is still yet to be matched and she set or equalled three world records at the old Sydney Sports Ground during her career,” Mr Henskens said.
“Nick Shehadie’s contribution to our city across sport, politics, media and much more is unmatched and Johnny Warren taught us all to love the beautiful game.
“In rugby league, it is fitting that we honour Arthur Beetson and Ron Coote, two great players and two great Australians, who won grand finals and represented their clubs, NSW and Australia at Moore Park.”
Venues NSW chairman Tony Shepherd AO said the first five members of the Ring of Champions would be joined by more greats in the future.
“The Ring of Champions is a modern solution for a modern stadium, so it will reflect the changing nature of the sports that draw people to our venues, including the rise of elite women’s team sport that is driving so much interest and excitement,” Mr Shepherd said.&nbsp;
“I thank the SCG Heritage Trust for the important foundational and educational work they completed on this task and look forward to the next phase of celebrating our sporting greats.”
Several other areas or rooms have also been named in the new stadium, including the new plaza areas around the venue.
These include Damun Place, Busby’s Corner, the Sheridan Stairs, the Ray Warren Media Centre and suites named in honour of JW Turner and Jack Brabham.&nbsp;
Turner was a former chairman of the Sports Ground Trust and hugely significant in its history, while Brabham’s motorsport career began at the Sports Ground and took him all the way to the F1 world title.
Allianz Stadium will be officially opened this Sunday 28 August with a free community day and night delivered in partnership between Venues NSW, Destination NSW and leading Sydney events company Rizer.&nbsp;
The free community event kicks off a bumper opening schedule of events, starting with NRLW (Roosters v Dragons) and NRL (Roosters v Rabbitohs) on September 2, Wallabies v Springboks on September 3 and Matildas v Canada on September 6.

“Our remarkable female athletes will create Australian sporting history in the state-of-the-art new stadium.
“I’d like to thank our broadcast partners, the Sydney Roosters and Venues NSW for helping us make this is a reality.
“History will be made on Friday, September 2. The first ever match on Allianz Stadium - an NRLW fixture - followed by the clash between the two foundation clubs in the final round of the regular season.”

Merivale’s Iconic Brands to Deliver Allianz Stadium Food and Beverage Offering

With the final piece of turf now laid and the last seats in place, Minister for Tourism and Sport, Stuart Ayres has today announced the completion of the new Allianz Stadium, with tickets now available for a free community Open Day and Night on Sunday, 28 August headlined by Australian music superstars Guy Sebastian and Baker Boy.&nbsp;
Opening Day, running from 11am-3pm, will see the doors to the stadium open to the community to explore the venue’s many new features for the first time, including lacing up their shoes in the change rooms on a behind-the-scenes tour, meeting their favourite Sydney Roosters, Sydney FC and NSW Waratahs players, and be among the first to have a kick on the new world-class playing surface.&nbsp;
Opening Night will kick off from 5pm,&nbsp;with dancers, light shows, large-scale projections and pyrotechnics, headlined by live performances from Australian music icons Guy Sebastian and Baker Boy.
Minister Ayres said the completion of the stadium was a testament to the NSW Government’s commitment to deliver state-changing infrastructure.
“Having a world-class stadium in the heart of a thriving sport, entertainment and hospitality precinct on the cusp of Sydney’s CBD will help ensure our state continues to host the best sporting and entertainment talent in the world,” Mr Ayres said.&nbsp;
“This state-of-the-art venue has the best community and player facilities in the country and I can’t wait for everyone to experience it during our unmissable Open Day and Night.
“I know it’s been a long time coming for fans, but I know as soon as they step inside, they’ll see the wait was worth it.&nbsp;
Fans won’t just enjoy being closer to the action they’ll also enjoy a 360-degree open concourse inside and outside the venue, steep seating angles providing&nbsp;an unforgettable event-day experience, better accessibility and&nbsp;the very best in-stadium Merivale food and beverage offering.&nbsp;
Minister Ayres was joined at the stadium unveiling by Indigenous artist Tony Albert, who was the artistic force behind the new stadium’s seat design.&nbsp;
Mr Albert said through his artwork, that illustrates the concept&nbsp;Two Worlds Colliding: Water &amp; Land,&nbsp;he embedded the idea of Country on top of the stadium creating an element of friendly yet fierce competition.&nbsp;
“Each end of the stadium is separated and distinguished by two different designs symbolising land and water – the land through geometric lines taken from nature, and the bubble of concentric circles for water,” Mr Albert said.
The seat design is one of six artworks that make up the new stadium’s public art program of art installations and recreational facilities that feature in the precinct, which can be seen during the community open day.
“We are inviting people to come out and enjoy a very special day and night. It will be the first opportunity for fans to experience first-hand how close to the action they will be and be entertained by Guy Sebastian and Baker Boy.”
The community can secure up to six free tickets per transaction to Opening Day (11am-3pm) and/or Opening Night (5pm-9pm). Tickets, which include public transport to and from the venue, can be secured from 12pm Tuesday 2 August via Ticketek:&nbsp;

Allianz Stadium Now Complete, Community Open Day & Night Details Announced 

Tony Albert is an award-winning artist who was born in Townsville. Albert’s family is from Cardwell, Queensland and he is a descendant of the Girramay, Yidinji and Kuku-Yalanji peoples. Albert is the first Indigenous Trustee for the Art Gallery of New South Wales and is also chair of the AGNSW Indigenous Advisory Group. In 2021, Albert was commissioned to design the seating pattern of the new Allianz Stadium. His design tells the story of ‘Two Worlds Colliding – Water and Land’. The design was chosen for the story it tells about place and country, providing a nod to the contest of two competing teams while offering broad appeal as a strong contemporary work. Each end of the stadium is separated and distinguished by two different designs – the land through geometric diamond designs taken from nature, and the bubble of concentric circles for water.

&lt;script async src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</code>
The new 42,500 seat Allianz Stadium has been designed and built for the fans, with a 360-degree open concourse inside and outside the venue, steep seating angles providing unrivalled views of the field, the very best Merivale food and beverage offering, world-class player facilities and new community spaces to explore, just some of its many features.
Sydney Roosters CEO Joe Kelly said: “The honour of hosting the inaugural event to be held at our home, the new Allianz Stadium, is one of which we are most proud. We have a deep connection to the precinct dating back to our foundation in 1908. Our Members and fans will have the very first opportunity to experience the new world-class facility and we would like to extend our thanks to the NSW Government for this addition to our Club’s rich history.
“The Roosters hosted the final event at the ground before it was demolished in 2018 and it is quite fitting that our return fixture will be against the same team, the South Sydney Rabbitohs. The 42,500 spectators there for the game will be able to reflect on being a part of history on what is sure to be an unforgettable event.”
South Sydney Rabbitohs CEO Blake Solly said: “It’s fantastic to see big sporting events with huge crowds returning to Sydney such as last night’s sell-out crowd at the State of Origin match at Accor Stadium and we’re certain that our 31,000-plus Members and countless supporters will paint Allianz Stadium red and green at this match.
“We’re fully supportive of the NSW Government’s investment in sporting infrastructure, creating state-of-the-art stadiums that provide the best facilities for not only the players, but also the Members and fans, and we’re all looking forward to christening the new Stadium in September.”
Rugby Australia CEO, Andy Marinos said: “We’re extremely excited to be able to host the first ever International event at the new Allianz Stadium.”
“To have the Wallabies taking on the World Champion Springboks in front of 42,500 supporters is going to be an amazing experience and one I’m sure those who are there will never forget.
"I’d like to thank the NSW Government for their support in hosting the Test and congratulate them on what is a truly world-class stadium build here in Sydney.”
Football Australia Chief Executive Officer James Johnson said: “It’s only fitting that the Commonwealth Bank Matildas are the first football team to play at the new Allianz Stadium, as this state-of-the-art facility will be a host venue for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ through the ongoing support of the NSW Government.
“Football enthusiasts, Matildas fans and event goers alike are in for a real treat on September 6, as our ever-popular Commonwealth Bank Matildas host defending Olympic champions and world number six, Canada in what will be ideal preparation ahead of next year’s tournament.&nbsp;
Exact details of the community open day, including how to secure entry to the free ticketed event, will be announced over the coming weeks, while ticket details to the Roosters v Rabbitohs, Wallabies v South Africa and Commonwealth Bank Matildas v Canada can be found via the respective club/code websites.&nbsp;
The opening series of events aren’t the only fixtures to look forward to, with Allianz Stadium to host Sydney FC’s first A-League game of the 2022-23 season, the Sydney Super Cup featuring Scottish champions, Celtic, and international superstar Justin Bieber performing live.

Allianz Stadium Opening Events Confirmed

Construction of the new Allianz Stadium has now reached the 90 per cent mark following the installation of the final roof fabric, with the Stadium ready to host its first event in September.
Premier Dominic Perrottet said once fully complete, the new Allianz Stadium will ensure NSW continues to attract world class sporting and entertainment events.&nbsp;
“The new Allianz Stadium will be a fitting home for some of Australia’s biggest sporting and entertainment experiences, and we can’t wait to open it to the public in time for the first event in September,” Mr Perrottet said.&nbsp;
“With the roof now finished, you can truly get a sense of what fans, athletes and performers will experience when this stadium opens the gates.&nbsp;
“The new SFS will not only help attract the world’s most exciting events to Sydney but also deliver a great boost to local tourism and create additional jobs for NSW.”&nbsp;
More than 4000 individual pieces of steel make up the new stadium roof, with a combined weight of 2000 tonnes of steel used in the fabrication.&nbsp;
Minister for Enterprise, Investment and Trade, Tourism and Sport and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said about 1,100 jobs have been supported on site during the build, with thousands more offsite and many more to come once the stadium is open.&nbsp;
“Along with creating jobs we are also making sure we support local businesses throughout this project. The steel from the now completed roof has been fabricated in Western Sydney by S&amp;L Steel, the same company that built the roof of the original stadium in 1988,” Mr Ayres said.
“This stadium will give NRL, A-League and rugby fans a phenomenal viewing experience, closer to the action in a rectangular stadium that will become the envy of sporting fans across the country.”&nbsp;
Minister for Infrastructure, Cities, and Active Transport Rob Stokes said the stadium façade was also complete and that work would continue on the stadium fit out and stadium surrounds.&nbsp;
“This stadium will not only provide a stunning arena for sports and entertainment, but also create a fantastic new precinct nestled between some of Sydney’s finest public spaces,” Mr Stokes said.&nbsp;
“Unlike the old gated SFS, the new design of the stadium fosters an open atmosphere and welcoming public open space that is no longer limited to just game day activity.”&nbsp;

The plats span between structural steel raking beams (rakers) and the seats will be attached to each plat. The plats come in 15 different varieties and their weights vary from two tonnes to 23 tonnes, with the lengths ranging from one and a half metres to more than 14 metres.
Andrew Redmayne and Remy Seimsen of Sydney FC, Victor Radley of the Sydney Roosters, Grace Hamilton of the Wallaroos and Alex Newsome from the NSW Waratahs, joined the Acting Minister for Sport Geoff Lee on site to mark the milestone and see the progress at their home ground.&nbsp;

The Matildas will kick off their FIFA Women’s World Cup campaign at the brand new Sydney Football Stadium.
The Matildas will kick off their FIFA Women’s World Cup campaign at the brand new Sydney Football Stadium (SFS) in July 2023, after the match schedule was revealed by FIFA today.
Sydney will host more matches than any other host city, with seven games at the SFS and four at Stadium Australia, including a Semi Final and the Final.
Minister for Tourism Stuart Ayres said the fixture announcement is an exciting milestone on the road to the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.
“This is about putting the best sports and the best events in the best facilities and keeping Sydney the number one choice in Australia for sports fans. Hosting major events like this is crucial in creating jobs and boosting our visitor economy,” Mr Ayres said.
“This World Cup will take women’s sport to a whole new level. When the final kicks off in Sydney I have no doubt we would have hosted a tournament that changed women’s major events forever.”
Minister for Sport Natalie Ward said football lovers will get the chance to be part of the biggest and best moments of the tournament in Sydney, from start to finish.
“The atmosphere across the city is bound to be electric as we host matches from day one right through to the Final,” Mrs Ward said.
“Fans can soak up the atmosphere at the brand new SFS, enjoy a world-class FIFA Fan Fest and experience finals excitement at Stadium Australia.”
FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura said 32 teams will compete in 64 matches across Australia and New Zealand.
“The announcement of the match schedule today adds to the excitement around the tournament and we are looking forward to seeing the nine host cities and 10 stadiums that will set the stage for women’s football,” Ms Samoura said.

Matildas to Kick-Off 2023 World Cup Campaign at Allianz Stadium

The seating design of the new Sydney Football Stadium has been revealed.
Award-winning Indigenous artist Tony Albert was commissioned to create a design which covers all 42,500 seats of the new stadium. The theme of the design is “Two Worlds Colliding – Water and Land”, with ­abstract designs featuring topographical views of ­Sydney, and whale and ­goanna totems.&nbsp;
“I believe in the ability that art has to elevate our experience of daily life, and to create environments that uplift and connect us. It is my wish that in time, the Sydney Football Stadium will become a landmark destination within Sydney’s Cultural Precinct,” Albert said.
“I was really thinking about this idea of a football stadium and the concept Two Worlds Colliding is the idea of friendly competition, two different elements or people coming together."

The concourse at the new Sydney Football Stadium is 'completed'. 
 
Work at the new Sydney Football Stadium continues to progress with Minister for Sport Geoff Lee this week announcing completion of the concourse. 
 
The concourse provides 360-degree circulation around the entire stadium, has the four main entry and exit points for patrons and hosts most of the food and beverage outlets.

Drone footage from the site also shows the assembly of the first steel elements. This includes installation of derricks for the stadium roof. The first of these roof support structures has already been placed in the north-east corner. 
 
Alex Brosque of Sydney FC, Mitchell Aubusson of the Sydney Roosters, and Emilee Cherry of Rugby Australia joined Minister Geoff Lee to share a pie at the new stadium.
