JOINT STATEMENT
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk today announced more than 90,000 rugby league fans were expected to flock to Brisbane for this weekend’s NRL Magic Round blockbuster at Suncorp Stadium.
With strong support from the Palaszczuk Government, all 16 NRL teams will play eight games over three days at Suncorp Stadium from 14-16 May.
“Major events pump millions of dollars into our economy and support local jobs. They’re an important part of our plan for economic recovery,” the Premier said.
“We worked closely with the NRL to develop the inaugural Magic Round in 2019 because we know events like this drive strong economic outcomes and visitor numbers for our tourism sector.”
