As it stands, the QLD government already held the hosting rights until the end of the 2027 season \u2014 with the NSW, South Australia, Western Australia and even New Zealand governments hopeful of brokering a deal to steal the event from Brisbane.<\/p>\n

Of those suitors, it was Western Australia and New Zealand who were the two most interested parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cLock it in to 2032. Magic Round is staying in Queensland – exactly where it belongs,\u201d Crisafulli said to News Corp.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told Queenslanders we would stare down those other states and get this deal done and now Magic Round is secured for Queensland for the next six years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really big deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Queenslanders and footy come together magic happens and that\u2019s exactly what a six-year deal represents for our state.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re only just getting started with Magic Round, and soon we will have more details on how we will make it bigger and better than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Queensland government is reportedly planning to make the event bigger in the coming years, hoping to rival the biggest events on the Aussie sporting calendar.<\/p>\n

Crisafulli\u2019s plans to make the event statewide helped in securing a new deal with V\u2019landys.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Magic Round is set to expand to a nine-game spectacle from 2027 onwards with the Perth Bears set to join the competition. <\/p>\n

\u201cQueensland has been very good to us. We have always had a great relationship with the Queensland government,\u201d V\u2019landys said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDavid Crisafulli is one of the hardest negotiators I have ever had to deal with, I am thinking of hiring him to do our broadcast deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we liked about the Premier is that he is looking big picture. He wants to make it a much bigger event for Queensland and we want to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Magic Round will remain in Brisbane until 2032.
