As stated by Deputy Premier and Tourism Minister Roger Cook:
“Western Australia has proved to be popular place for the ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Rugby League.
“Last year’s 2022 State of Origin saw nearly 7,000 out-of-state visitors travel to WA for the match and spend more than $13.3 million in the WA economy.
“So we’re excited to welcome rugby league back to our State once again. It’s going to huge day at the stadium but we know visiting fans will also take the opportunity to explore Perth and parts of WA.
“Bringing major sporting, cultural and arts events to the State are all part of the McGowan Government and Tourism WA’s strategy to drive tourism to Western Australia for the economic benefit of Western Australians.”
As stated by Sport and Recreation Minister David Templeman:
“This is a fantastic opportunity for locals and tourists alike to get out and take in some incredible action at Optus Stadium.
“We know there are a huge number of local fans of NRL and we would urge every one of them to turn out in support of the newest team to the competition, the Dolphins.
“Hosting this NRL double header gives young up and coming Perth players the opportunity to see their sporting idols live.”
