The A-Leagues will scrap the controversial grand final sale to Sydney, with chief executive Danny Townsend saying it has listened to the “strong sentiments” of fans.last month, the Australian Professional Leagues and the NSW government have been in talks to reverse the remainder of the $12 million, three-year deal which guaranteed Sydney would host the men’s and women’s grand finals through to 2025.
“The ‘Unite Round’ is being introduced for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons, as the APL’s partnership with Destination NSW enters its second year,” an APL media release said.
