The Western Force will host the Club’s annual Fan Day on Saturday 1 February, while the side will play the ACT Brumbies in a Super Rugby Pacific pre-season trial game on Friday 7 February in Canberra.

The Force is excited to invite Members and supporters to the free 2025 Fan Day at the Club’s Floreat headquarters, ahead of the celebrations for the Club’s 20th season.

The free event will include opportunities to meet all players and coaches, take selfies and get signatures, along with activations.

The activations include food trucks, face painting, pass-the-ball inflatables, bouncy castles and more, while the club will have a merchandise marquee store open.

Force general manager – business operations Tyson Beattie said: “We’re thrilled to announce we’ll be hosting our annual Fan Day at Rugby HQ and we call on all Force Members and supporters to get out in numbers for this awesome chance to meet our fantastic players and coaches.

“The event will be held on a Saturday morning during school holidays, so it’s perfect for families ahead of an exciting 2025 Super Rugby season that marks out 20th season as a club.

“We’re excited about our squad for the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season and the gains being made by Simon Cron’s side after a strong pre-season and South Africa tour, which bodes well for a big year ahead.”

The Force will also play the Brumbies on Friday 7 February at Marist College in Canberra in an pre-season trial game, with kick-off time to be confirmed in due course.

The game will be an important tune-up for the Force ahead of the Club’s Super Rugby Pacific season opener at HBF Park on Saturday 15 February against Moana Pasifika.

The Force have made several off-season signings building excitement around the 2025 season, including Wallabies Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Darcy Swain and Dylan Pietsch, along with international such as Matt Proctor and Nic Dolly, plus Mac Grealy, Nick Champion de Crespigny, Vaiolini Ekuasi, Divad Palu, Josh Thompson, Harry Johnson-Holmes and Sio Tomkinson.
