GWS Giants announce ENGIE as naming right holder for home ground at Sydney Olympic Park

In partnership with the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW, the AFL’s GWS GIANTS have announced a new naming rights partner for their home ground at Sydney Olympic Park.

The three-year deal with energy company, ENGIE, will see the GIANTS Stadium nomenclature, which has been in place since 2019, change to ENGIE Stadium with the new designation set to be in place for all events at the venue including GIANTS home games, Sydney Thunder games in the Big Bash League, the Sydney Royal Easter Show and high-profile concerts.

Pleased with the new partnership, GIANTS Chief Executive, David Matthews advised “we are delighted with this new partnership and can’t wait to welcome fans to what is now ENGIE Stadium for the next three years.

“The GIANTS’ brand continues to grow, and we are thrilled to partner with ENGIE to host thousands of GIANTS fans as the club continues to stamp its footprint on the sport in NSW, the ACT and beyond.

“The venue itself continues to be a world-class Stadium that has been consistently voted as the number one AFL venue in the country for fan experience. From a GIANTS game day perspective, we pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality experience for our Orange Army and we can’t wait to continue to deliver that first-class experience at ENGIE Stadium.”

Brock Gilmour, Chief Executive of the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW, added “the RAS is delighted to partner with the GIANTS and ENGIE in this exciting venture.

“For the past 26 years, the Stadium has played an integral role in bringing live events and sports to Western Sydney, and as we launch into this new season and era with ENGIE, we look forward to continuing this legacy.”

ENGIE is a global leader in developing renewable energy and has operated in Australia since 1996. With the backing of global expertise and skilled local teams, ENGIE is supporting the transition to a carbon-neutral economy by providing energy solutions to households, businesses and communities.

In Australia they have an ambitious goal - to achieve net zero by 2045 by deploying renewable energy, green hydrogen, and storage infrastructure at pace, while leading the transformation from coal-fired power to a clean energy future.

The GIANTS will open their 2024 AFL season at ENGIE Stadium on Saturday evening against Collingwood at ENGIE Stadium in the AFL’s inaugural Opening Round.
