To coincide with the historic match at Blacktown Olympic Park on Saturday February 20, Team GWS unveiled its exciting campaign ‘NameTheTeam’ inviting the community to go online and help name the new AFL team in Sydney’s West.

In front of a sell out crowd of 10,000 fans at the first ever elite AFL match at Blacktown Olympic Park, Team GWS head Coach Kevin Sheedy officially launched the community campaign, urging supporters to get involved to truly shape the AFL’s 18th club.

"Right from the start of we have made it clear that we want to build a club which is truly representative of this great community. What better way is there for the people of Greater Western Sydney and all of our supporters to help build this club than by helping shaping its name and identity," said Sheedy.

From Saturday, February 20 supporters can visit to the campaign website

"Our name really needs to capture the essence of Western Sydney – this is one incredible region with so much to be proud of and we need to celebrate that.

"We’re looking for something big, bold and ambitious – a great name for a great team."
