This follows the opening of applications for Team27, the official volunteer program for the Men’s Rugby World Cup 2027, on September 16, 2026, which seeks individuals to support fan experience and tournament operations across Australia's seven Host Cities. Earlier, on September 10, 2026, Adelaide Oval highlighted its sustainable waste management practices, particularly its innovative cooking oil recycling program.
