RLWC - Venues - Sydney Football Stadium
Capacity: 45,500 Host RL Club: Sydney Roosters The Sydney Football Stadium (colloquially known as SFS, and formerly known as Aussie Stadium [1] between 2002 and mid-2007) is located in Moore Park, in Sydney, New South Wales. It was built in 1988 to be the city's premier "rectangular field" for rugby league. It is also now used for football (soccer) and rugby union for major matches and domestic competition. Most major representative rugby football matches in Sydney that were once played at the SFS, such as State of Origin rugby league and rugby union Internationals, have been played at ANZ Stadium (Stadium Australia) since it was completed in 1999 for the 2000 Summer Olympic Games. This much larger stadium took a lot of the major events away, leaving the SFS as a second-tier venue, although it is far from a white elephant. Rock band U2 held their Zoo TV concert at the Sydney Football Stadium in 1993. |
