The weekend saw the last NRL game hosted at Central Coast Stadium of our adopted home team the New Zealand Warriors. Today the NZ Warriors farewell the Coast and head home to their families and friends. 

A positive that has come out of COVID-19 for our Central Coast community was the ability to host the New Zealand Warriors for the 2020 NRL season and adopt them as our home team. Our love of sport had our community quickly embracing the New Zealand Warriors NRL team as their own.

The opportunity to host the New Zealand Warriors was a testament to Council’s management of Central Coast Stadium as a high-quality venue delivering for professional sporting codes from its ideal location just outside Sydney.

Through hosting NRL games during the 2020 premiership season, and with COVID-19 limitations in place, our stadium has had 17,453 total crowd attendance, a fantastic turnout given current circumstances and evidence of just how much we love our sport!

Thank you to the New Zealand Warriors for making our home your home during the 2020 NRL season. We hope you enjoyed your time here and safe travels home.

It has been an absolute pleasure hosting you. Central Coast Council and the community welcome you back anytime.
