Sydney's AFL qualifying final against GWS is set to take place at the SCG, not Accor Stadium.

The AFL confirmed that Sydney's qualifying final against Greater Western Sydney will take place at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) rather than Accor Stadium, despite the latter's larger capacity. CEO Andrew Dillon stated the SCG was appropriate as the Swans’ home ground. He also defended the Saturday afternoon timeslot for attendance reasons and noted the introduction of the Ron Barassi Medal for the winning Grand Final captain, honoring the AFL legend.
