The Australian Football League (AFL) and the South Australian government have reached an agreement to continue hosting the AFL’s Gather Round event in South Australia until 2029. This extension confirms the event’s success and economic benefits for the state. Gather Round, launched in 2023, showcases a full round of AFL matches played across various venues in South Australia, rather than the usual home grounds. The league views the event as a significant achievement, fostering fan engagement and generating substantial revenue. Details of the financial agreement were not disclosed, but both parties expressed enthusiasm for the continuation of the partnership. The decision provides certainty for fans and the tourism sector in South Australia for the next six years. This commitment solidifies South Australia’s position as a key host for major AFL events.
