Brisbane’s Nissan Arena to host Super Netball Grand Final

Super Netball has confirmed that its 2020 Suncorp Super Netball Finals Series will be played in South East Queensland over three weeks, with the Grand Final set for Nissan Arena in Brisbane.

The league confirmed all matches will be played between USC Stadium on the Sunshine Coast, and Nissan Arena in Brisbane, with the teams that finish the home and away season in the top two ladder positions given the option to nominate their preferred preliminary final venue.

Advising that that the series will begin on Saturday 3rd October, Suncorp Super Netball Chief Executive, Chris Symington explained “it’s exciting to confirm that Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast will play host to the 2020 Suncorp Super Netball Finals Series, all teams have played matches at both Nissan Arena and USC Stadium throughout the season so there will be a level of familiarity there.

“We have taken guidance from our clubs in spacing the finals matches over three weeks after the condensed home and away season to ensure all teams involved in finals have adequate time to recover and prepare.

“We would like to again thank the Queensland Government for its immense support of this season, and also the Brisbane City Council for supporting the 2020 Grand Final.”

As part of the decision to hold the Grand Final in Brisbane, Netball Queensland also revealed a new partnership with the Brisbane City Council, helping extend the volume of elite sporting competitions taking place in Brisbane.

Welcoming this, Brisbane Lord Mayor added “in what has been a historic year, our city has secured the AFL Grand Final and now we’ve been treated to more than 30 Super Netball games, which is great for the local economy and for fans who have missed watching live sport during the coronavirus lockdown.

“These events are an opportunity to support our economic recovery but also boost community spirits and promotes women’s sport.”
