The Australian Professional Leagues (APL) has signed a new deal that will see their showpiece grand finals — the A-League Men, A-League Women, and E-League - hosted in Sydney for the next three years.
The deal with Destination NSW, which is worth a reported eight-figure sum and will run until the end of 2025, was announced on Monday and almost immediately received backlash from football fans outside of Sydney, as well as many within it.
