Wests Tigers centre of excellence officially opens

The world-class centre of excellence for NSW NRL club Wests Tigers, which boasts high-performance training, administration and community facilities has officially opened at Concord Oval and Community Sport Precinct.
A key requirement of the project was the dedicated female facilities to improve pathways for women and girls in line with the NSW Government’s Her Sport Her Way program.
The $84.5 million Concord Oval and Community Sport Precinct redevelopment provides new recreation spaces for the rapidly growing inner west population, including indoor sports courts, playground, and café and community rooms.
The NSW Government contributed $64.6 million towards the precinct redevelopment, including the Wests Tigers Centre of Excellence.
NSW Minister for Sport Alister Henskens officially opened the multi-million dollar facility and noted “Rugby league is such a big part of our social fabric, and this facility is an absolute game-changer for the inner west community and another major sport infrastructure project delivered by the NSW Government.
“From community engagement to high performance outcomes, this facility has reinvigorated the Concord Oval precinct which will help grow the sport and provide local pathways for our future NRLW and NRL stars.”
Wests Tigers Chief Executive Justin Pascoe believes the new facility, to be named the Zurich Centre, is a huge plus for the local area and adds “We are so fortunate as an NRL club to have such a wonderful facility, one that is the envy of other sporting bodies worldwide.
“It gives us something to be truly proud of and it provides our players and staff with an environment that will help them to be the very best they can be.
“Wests Tigers’ vision statement is ‘to enrich the lives of our community’, so strategically, this facility will play a pivotal role in what we do.”
