Qatar Airways, the official airline partner of the Sydney Swans, will be giving one matchgoing fan the experience of a lifetime, as part of the AFL’s Opening Round at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) this Friday.
To celebrate the new season taking flight, Qatar Airways will be giving away two Economy Class return flights to Doha, four nights’ accommodation, and a selection of unforgettable experiences, including the Discover Doha tour and a desert and inland sea safari, to one lucky attendee and their travel buddy.
To enter, fans attending the Opening Round game against Hawthorn, will need to collect their ‘Fly Me to Doha’ boarding pass at the entry gates of the SCG. During the quarter-time break, participants will need to hold their boarding pass in the air, wave, shout, and cheer, with the loudest and most engaged fan to be selected as the winner on the Big Screen.
