Australia is one of the most sports-mad countries on the planet – and nothing beats the thunderous roar of 60,000 fans barracking for their team at Perth’s Optus Stadium. From March to September, Optus Stadium plays host to the great game of Australian Rules football, where the on-field intensity is matched by local fans chanting in the stands.
Sweeping views of the Swan River / Derbarl Yerrigan and Perth’s skyline saw Optus Stadium voted the ‘most beautiful stadium in the world’ in 2019. In 2021, the world-class venue hosted the Australian Football League (AFL) Grand Final, when the Melbourne Demons overcame the Western Bulldogs to win their first trophy in 57 years.
Optus Stadium is located about 5 kilometres from Perth city centre / Boorloo and is easily accessible by foot, car or public transport. Grab your mates, enjoy a beer and a meat pie, and get ready to shout “goal” in this fast-paced, physical game that epitomises the Aussie spirit.
