Scentre Group Chief Executive Officer, Elliott Rusanow said this strategic partnership is about building community connection and creating more reasons for customers to visit and spend time at their local Westfield:
“Our Westfield destinations are considered community hubs, places people choose to visit to connect and spend their time.
“With the countdown to the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games underway, we’re proud to announce Westfield as the official team partner of the Australian Olympic and Paralympic teams.
“From July, we will be giving Australians here at home the opportunity to come together and cheer on their favourite athletes.
“All 37 Westfield destinations will transform into official Live Sites and open for more hours of the day, including in the early hours of the morning, when many events and matches will be happening live.
“We’re excited to expand on the range of experiences already available at our Westfield destinations with Live Sites a new and unique way for people to spend their time.
“We’re looking forward to turning our Westfield destinations into the local games village with plenty of green and gold to celebrate with our customers from next month.”

“Our Australian Olympic athletes represent their country with enormous pride and this partnership really brings home that sense of support from communities across the country.
