The South Sydney Rabbitohs will join the Sydney Roosters in playing the opening sporting event at the new Allianz Stadium at Moore Park with confirmation today that the round 25 match will be played at the new venue on Friday 2 September at 7:55pm.
South Sydney Rabbitohs CEO Blake Solly said: “We’re really looking forward to being a part of the opening match at the new Allianz Stadium in the heart of South Sydney territory at Moore Park.
“We’ll be playing against our neighbours and arch-rivals the Roosters for the Ron Coote Cup, at a Stadium upon which the great South Sydney legend’s name will feature on one of the grandstands. The Stadium will also honour Indigenous Rugby League legend Arthur Beetson, a man our Club deeply respects.
“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.”
Tickets will be on sale for the general public from 10am on Friday 24 June. Please keep an eye on www.rabbitohs.com.au for details.
