The agreement between the NT Government, the AFL and AFL Northern Territory (AFLNT) will see the Gold Coast SUNS play a game in Darwin every year until 2023.

Territorians will also have the opportunity to have the full Gold Coast SUNS experience by purchasing a Northern SUN Membership package.

"It's exciting to be able to launch our new Northern SUN Membership offering, designed specifically for Territorians,” GC SUNS Chief Executive Mark Evans said.

"Northern SUNS members will receive access to not only to our Round 13 blockbuster at TIO Stadium but also two games at Metricon Stadium, and members merchandise plus exclusive members invites and communications."

"To be able to work with AFLNT and the NT Government to help develop school and community programs to positively impact and inspire the next generation is something we're really looking forward to.

"As part of our NT partnership, we are determined to support and grow Territory football including seeing more players like Malcolm Rosas Jnr, Tayla Thorn, Jasmyn Hewett, Jordann Hickey and Sally Riley come through the pathways and join the Gold Coast SUNS' AFL and AFLW squads," he said.

AFLNT Chief Executive Officer Stuart Totham said bringing big games to the Territory increases the liveability of the NT for Territorians and provides more reasons for people to visit. 

"By working collaboratively with the AFL, NT Government and Gold Coast Football Club we have been able to deliver AFL games in the NT for four years, a fantastic outcome for Territory football. 

"We will be working closely with stakeholders to make these games a success, build on them as key community events and ensure they continue long after the current agreement expires. 

"With a recruiting concession in Darwin that allows Gold Coast SUNS to pre-list AFL talent, we expect our numbers on the SUNS' AFL list to steadily improve over the coming years." 

Northern Territory Acting Minister for Tourism, Sport and Culture, Eva Lawler spoke about the importance of AFL to the region. 

“AFL is the biggest participation sport in the Territory, and the Territory Labor Government’s four-year partnership with the AFL includes the Gold Cast SUNS assisting with the talent pathways in Darwin. This will provide greater opportunities for talented local players to get on AFL and AFLW lists”.

“Bringing big games here is part of our Government’s commitment to creating vibrant communities, giving Territorians access to premium sporting events and driving visitation to the Territory. Many loyal footy fans will follow their team all over the country, so this is a great way of getting the NT on their destination list.” 

“This is going to be a great game and I encourage footy fans to book their tickets now.”

Gold Coast SUNS recruit, Brandon Ellis, along with fellow SUNS and NT products Rosas, Tayla Thorn and Hewett will be in Darwin this weekend to promote the new partnership between the side and AFLNT. 

The players will be watching the 2019/20 TIO NTFL Women's Premier League Grand Final and the Men's Premier League Preliminary Final while promoting a new offering designed specifically for Darwin fans.

Gold Coast SUNS Match Day Access Members who are wanting to make the trip to Darwin will receive complimentary general admission access.
