Gold Coast keen on China game
Print Edition
AUSTRALIAN Rules football team Gold Coast Suns said yesterday they were pushing to be the team to face Port Adelaide in a showcase game in China next year.
The Australian Football League and Chinese property developer Shanghai Cred last week signed an agreement with Port Adelaide about a potential game in China in 2017.
The Australian newspaper reported yesterday that the AFL Commission had approved Gold Coast over other interested clubs, including Melbourne, Collingwood and Greater Western Sydney.
Queensland state’s Gold Coast is already a hub for Chinese tourists, and the Suns were a “logical” fit for the game, club chairman Tony Cochrane said.
“The Gold Coast has tremendous ties to China,” he said on the club’s website. “Not only in terms of tourism but with billons of dollars worth of Chinese money being poured into the Gold Coast community.”
He said the club would “push as hard as we can to try and get the China game”.
