  • Work Underway on New Elite Women's Facilities at Ikon Park.Pdf Pdf 199.59 KB
    Wednesday, 27 January 2021 WORK UNDERWAY ON NEW ELITE WOMEN’S FACILITIES AT IKON PARK Purpose-built AFLW change rooms and an elite indoor training facility will level the playing field for women footballers at Ikon Park, with work underway on the landmark project. On the eve of the 2021 AFLW season, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula today joined Carlton president Mark LoGiudice, AFLW stars Maddy Prespakis and Tayla Harris and Federal Minister for Superannuation, Financial Services and the Digital Economy Jane Hume at Ikon Park to view progress. Prior to the pandemic, women’s football in Victoria was booming and with the anticipated return of community footy in 2021, that trend is set to continue. The establishment of the AFLW in 2017 was a game-changer, with Ikon Park hosting a sell-out crowd of nearly 25,000 people at the first-ever AFLW match between Carlton and Collingwood. The 2021 AFLW season kicks off tomorrow night at Ikon Park with the Blues again hosting the Magpies. Current match-day facilities are below par and the project will see the demolition of the Pratt Stand and the construction of a match-day pavilion with AFLW-standard change rooms, an elite indoor training facility and better views into the ground from Princes Park. The existing training and administration building will be refurbished and upgraded to provide AFLW and AFL players and staff access to the same facilities and resources, reinforcing a culture of gender equality throughout the club. Lighting will also be upgraded to allow broadcasting of AFLW night matches.
