ANZ stadium

"ANZ Stadium is the biggest venue in NSW and that means more of our fans will be able to experience grand final day live,'' NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo said.

"This year will be a historic grand final day. The teams competing would have overcome all challenges in front of them and we will experience the culmination of a season like no other.

"We can't wait to see 40,000 fans at the venue. Our fans have been so patient and loyal throughout the season and having crowd caps increase for the Finals Series is the perfect way to acknowledge that loyalty."

Fiji Sports Council Chief Executive, Litiana Loabuka said the council is concerned about the large number of single-use plastic bags left at the stadium after an event.

“We have had an increase in a single-use plastic bag and the like being found in all our drains around our venues and it has started to affect our operations and so we have had to do some major re-thinking. We have got bins provided. We encourage people to use the bins.”

Loabuka said they are committed to protecting and maintaining their properties.

ANZ CEO Pacific and Fiji, Vishnu Mohan, officially announced the five-year renewal of ANZ Stadium’s naming rights at the stadium today with the Chairman of the Fiji Sports Council, Peter Mazey and CEO of the Fiji Sports Council Litiana Loabuka.

“Fiji has a long and distinguished sporting history and we all know how important sport is to all Fijians and Pacific Islanders. This was clearly evident with some amazing results recorded at last month’s 2015 Pacific Games,” Mohan said.
