Tonight, the nation is lighting up in green and gold ahead of Green and Gold Day.
On 1 August, on the eve of Green and Gold Day (2 August) both public and private buildings, famous landmarks, sporting grounds and local councils across the nation will light up in our national colours.
The initiative is to remind all Australians to wear Green & Gold to work, school or play on Friday to support our Aussies as they take to the field for super Saturday. The biggest day of sport for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
On 2 August schools, councils, and workplaces across the nation will be decked out in our national colours enjoying sports and celebrating the Australian Olympic Team.
CEO of the AOC Matt Carroll AM was pleased with the support shown by so many people getting behind the Australian Team, showing their support for our athletes.
“It’s great to see so many Australians throwing their support behind the Australian Olympic Team. I know that initiatives like these really have a positive impact on our athletes, bring communities closer together and show that everyone back home is unified in their support for the Team.”
“I’d like to thank all of the schools, community groups, councils, workplaces, governments and sporting clubs for getting behind Green and Gold Day and support our athletes,” said Mr Carroll.
Aussie Stingers Water Polo player and two-time Olympian Bronte Halligan was excited to learn that the nation was lighting up in support of the Australian Olympic Team.
“Support from home really helps to lift everyone on the Team. Seeing so many amazing landmarks lighting up to let everyone know it Green and Gold Day is on, is so special, it really makes it feel like the whole country is getting behind us.”
Such an exciting gesture, it’s really wonderful to feel all the passion coming from everyone back in Australia, I’m really looking forward to the night.
On the field of play we wear our green and gold with pride and seeing that connection amplified connecting all Australians is a real inspiration.”
