DiDi Mobility Australia, together with the AFL, are pleased to announce DiDi as the Official Rideshare Partner of the 2018 Toyota AFL Grand Final.

To celebrate the partnership, new riders who download DiDi from now through to the end of September will automatically receive a gift pack worth over $100* to help them get to and from the 2018 Toyota AFL Grand Final.

Dedicated DiDi pickup and drop-off zones will be located around the MCG on AFL Grand Final Day, providing footy fans with a reliable and affordable ride.

A DiDi Dome installation will also feature as part of the Footy Festival between Gate 2 and 3 at the MCG, supplying fans with phone chargers, refreshments, giveaways and comfortable seating. Fans can take snaps in the DiDi photo booth and also participate in the DiDi dollar grab.

AFL General Manager Commercial Kylie Rogers said: “The AFL is excited to partner with DiDi Mobility Australia, the world’s leading rideshare platform, for the biggest day on the football calendar.

“We anticipate a capacity crowd for this year’s Toyota AFL Grand Final and with DiDi having over 550 million users worldwide, they’re experts at supporting big crowds.”

Marketing Manager for DiDi Mobility in Australia Douglas Toy said:

“Since DiDi’s launch in June, Melburnians have enthusiastically welcomed DiDi and we are therefore extremely excited to partner with the AFL for the 2018 Toyota AFL Grand Final in order to make contributions back to the city. We encourage footy fans to download DiDi to beat the crowds and benefit from a reliable and affordable ride to and from the MCG on the big day”.
