NSW Bids To Make Sydney The Permanent Home For A-League Grand Final

Sydney "could become the permanent home of the A-League grand final" as part of a NSW government plan to bid for the hosting rights for the competition's decider, "regardless of the teams competing," according to Dominic Bossi of the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD. Discussions have reportedly taken place within the state government to "table a bid to Football Federation Australia to secure the long-term hosting rights for the event," commencing as early as '19. While "still in an early stage," the proposal includes ANZ Stadium, Allianz Stadium and a newly-renovated 30,000-seat Parramatta Stadium as candidates to stage the annual decider, "operating on a sliding scale pending the stature of the teams competing." The initial proposal in discussion is in response to the A$1B ($750M) investment in stadiums from the NSW government. FFA CEO David Gallop said, "We are certainly open minded to a proposal and we would be interested in what the commercial terms would be. Obviously for the right prices, we would consider that" (SMH, 5/20).
