Perth's new 60,000-seat sports venue will be called Optus Stadium, after a 10-year naming rights deal was struck with the telecommunications giant.
The WA government did not release the value of the deal, but Sports Minister Mick Murray said it exceeded expectations after the stadium cost taxpayers $1.46 billion to build.
AFL will be played at the stadium on the Swan River next year but the first football match there will be an AFL women's game on February 10 and a one-day international cricket match might be played there in late January.
