Parramatta Is Where It's AT When It Comes To Sports

There is no doubt that Parramatta is a football town. From the blue and gold who march proud for the mighty mighty Eels to the roar of a packed Wanderers and the umpires bounce at a GWS local derby, Parramatta is proud of its footy heritage, its victories and its fans.

Parramatta Eels

This Season The Parramatta Eels Are Kicking Off The Season With A Mighty Game Against Reigning Premiers Melbourne Storm. 


Since 1947, the EELS have been drawing locals and fans from further afield to Parramatta to celebrate the wins and commiserate the losses of this great team. The big win finally came in 1981, and then again in ’82 and ’83 despite their ground having being burnt down after their initial Grand Final Win.
