Excitement is building for the first Rugby League World Cup 9s with the tournament pools and first tickets released.
Bankwest Stadium will be the backdrop for all the colour, camaraderie and culture on October 18 and 19, when 12 nations compete and tens of thousands of fans cheer on their sides.
Minister for Sport John Sidoti said more than 50,000 fans are expected to attend Bankwest Stadium for the world-first event.
“NSW is the proud home of rugby league in Australia, and the World Cup 9s will reinforce why teams and spectators love our State to host these big games,” Mr Sidoti said.
Minister for Tourism Stuart Ayres said the inaugural Downer Rugby League World Cup 9s tournament is a blockbuster, high-energy event for teams and spectators.
“Western Sydney will come alive when great rugby league nations including England, Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand and Australia take to Bankwest Stadium. I encourage the fans to get out and enjoy Parramatta’s hospitality and the associated festivities,” Mr Ayres said.
Tickets for the Rugby League World Cup 9s are now on sale.
