The Rabbitohs are continuing to face a dilemma over their future home and the club has called upon the New South Wales Government to take action. The saga over whether the Souths will move away from the Accor Stadium has raged for some time, with Bunnies fans calling for the club to move to the newly refurbished Allianz Stadium.

While they have played at the ground for 20 years, fans have called on South Syndey to find a new home. The Accor Stadium last underwent major reconfiguration work back in 2001. Since then, some upgrades have been made including renovations to the changing rooms and media areas ahead of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Yet, the club has called on the government to help improve the stadium and spend money on improving the fan experience at Stadium Australia, which was first opened in 1999. It comes after the NSW government had axed a $810million refurbishment of the stadium back in 2020.
