The AFL and the South Australian government agree to extend the league’s “Gather Round” event in South Australia until 2029. Multiple outlets report that the extension is part of a new multi-year partnership, described as a three-year deal. The arrangement builds on Gather Round’s success in the state, with the AFL and the government locking in the event schedule beyond its prior term.
The reporting is consistent across outlets: the AFL will continue to stage Gather Round in South Australia, and the extension is backed by an agreement between the AFL and state authorities. Details such as the number of years covered, the parties involved, and the end date are shared, with the extension framed as a continuation rather than a change in the event’s location. The coverage also notes that the AFL’s long-term planning for the event is supported by the government’s commitment, indicating ongoing cooperation on hosting and statewide arrangements for the fixture cluster.
