As part of the airline’s sponsorship with the Swans and to celebrate 15 years of service in Australia, Qatar Airways gave away a flight voucher to 15 supporters in a randomly-selected bay inside the Sydney Cricket Ground during Saturday’s match against Fremantle.

The stadium spotlight landing on Row M in Bay 3 of the O’Reilly stand during the quarter-time break to much fanfare and celebration. Earlier in the day, Qatar Airways had also given AFL fans the chance to participate in a virtual reality experience outside the Sydney Cricket Ground. The experience allowed match-going fans the opportunity to immerse themselves in a virtual reality AFL game and play as their own AFL superstar for the day.

Justin Kestel, Regional Manager for Australia and New Zealand at Qatar Airways, said, “We’re incredibly proud of our sponsorship with the Sydney Swans and it’s great to see the team performing so well on the field so far this season. This experience and competition provided supporters with an opportunity to temporarily live their dream as an AFL player, learn a little more about what Qatar Airways can do for them and be one step closer to their next departure to Europe and the United Kingdom.”
