Breaking: Roosters Secure Long-Term Home at Sydney Football Stadium Through Groundbreaking Partnership Deal
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — In a major development that solidifies their future, the Sydney Roosters have officially confirmed their long-term commitment to the Sydney Football Stadium (SFS) as their home ground, following the signing of a landmark partnership agreement that will reshape the club’s next chapter both on and off the field.
Announced on Monday morning, the agreement ensures that the Roosters will continue to call the world-class SFS their home for many seasons to come. The partnership is being hailed as a significant milestone in the club’s rich history, offering security, stability, and a strong platform for future growth.
The deal, made in collaboration with the NSW Government and Venues NSW, was revealed at a media event held on the stadium’s field. Roosters chairman Nick Politis AM described the announcement as a “transformational moment” for the club and its loyal supporters.
“This stadium is more than just a venue—it’s our home,” Politis said. “Our roots here at Moore Park go back over a century, and today we’re ensuring that our identity and future remain tied to this incredible facility. It’s where our fans belong, where our players shine, and where we’ll continue building our legacy.”
The newly rebuilt SFS, which reopened in 2022 after a complete redevelopment, boasts state-of-the-art facilities, increased seating capacity, and a fan-first experience that has already drawn acclaim. The Roosters were the first team to play at the new venue, and since then, they’ve made it their fortress.
Under the new agreement, the club will play the majority of its home games at SFS, benefit from enhanced training and recovery facilities, and work closely with stadium management on creating world-class matchday experiences. The partnership also includes joint community engagement initiatives and expanded commercial opportunities for both parties.
NSW Minister for Sport Steve Kamper welcomed the announcement, calling it a win for rugby league in New South Wales.
“The Roosters are one of the most successful and historic clubs in the NRL,” Kamper said. “This partnership guarantees their long-term presence in the heart of Sydney, and it strengthens the connection between elite sport and world-class infrastructure. We’re proud to support it.”
Fans have expressed overwhelming support for the announcement, praising the club’s commitment to remaining in Moore Park, where generations of Roosters supporters have celebrated iconic moments. Many took to social media to share memories of games past and to express excitement about the future.
“This is our heartland,” one fan posted. “I’m so proud to see the Roosters make SFS their forever home.”
