COFFS Harbour is set to host its first ever AFLW game, as the Sydney Swans and Richmond Tigers clash this Saturday afternoon during Round 3 of the season.

The Swans and Tigers will play for premiership points at the C.ex Coffs International Stadium, with the first bounce at 12.35pm.

The Swans premiership match in Coffs Harbour follows their visit to the city last year for a pre-season training camp.

The Swans played in the season opener against the Collingwood Magpies, getting their 2024 campaign off to a winning start with a 15-point win at North Sydney Oval.

They will look to bounce back this weekend after a Round 2 loss to the St Kilda Saints.

The Tigers have also split their opening two games of the season, going down in a one-point opening round thriller against the West Coast Eagles, and bouncing back with an 11-point win against the GWS Giants.

Sydney Swans CEO Tom Harley was excited about bringing a match for premiership points to Coffs Harbour for the first time.

“We’re really excited to be hosting our Week 3 match in Coffs Harbour,” he said.

“Having hosted AFL and AFLW pre-season camps in the region over the last 20 years it’s brilliant to be bringing a match for premiership points to our members and fans in the area.

“Our relationship with Coffs Harbour has been pivotal for the development of our QBE Sydney Swans Academy and ARA First Nations Foundations Program and it’s great to have another opportunity to engage participants in the area.”
