The 2022 NRL grand final will be played in Sydney after a last-minute pitch from the NSW government kept it in its traditional home, but the event may be up for auction to the highest bidder from next year.
NRL CEO Andrew Abdo, left, and Peter V’landys have announced the NRL grand final will be played in Sydney.The news ends four months of speculation around the hosting rights, after the NSW government and NRL clashed over funding for suburban ground upgrades. However, a late offer from the NSW government meant it was no longer a clear financial winner for the match to be played at Suncorp Stadium, leaving it in Sydney.“After extensive negotiations we have made a decision which we believe is in the best interest of fans, and that is to hold the game in Sydney this year,” Mr V’landys said.
“And if we didn’t have discussions with the NSW government yesterday afternoon, it probably would have gone that way.”
