NRL Set to Bring Major Game Back to Canberra Stadium….
Rugby league fans in the nation’s capital have reason to celebrate, with the NRL confirming that one of the biggest fixtures on the calendar is set to return to Canberra Stadium. After years of being overlooked for marquee matches, the iconic venue will once again host a headline event, bringing top-tier footy back to the heart of the ACT.
The decision comes after sustained lobbying from the Raiders, local government, and fans who have long argued that Canberra deserves to feature more prominently in the NRL’s marquee scheduling. While the specific match is yet to be officially announced, insiders suggest it could be a representative clash or a blockbuster regular season fixture.
NRL CEO Andrew Abdo acknowledged the passionate fanbase in the capital and the region’s strong rugby league culture. “Canberra has always been a proud rugby league city, and we’re excited to bring a major game back to a venue with such a rich history,” he said.
The move is expected to boost local tourism and reinvigorate the game in the region. For Raiders fans and sports lovers alike, the return of high-stakes rugby league to Canberra Stadium is a long-awaited win.
