history

The Sydney Sports Ground with 33,000 seats at that time was built on the site in 1899 . In 1981 the sports facility u. a. one of the seven stadiums of the 3rd Junior World Cup . The Sydney Sports Ground was demolished in 1986 for the Sydney Football Stadium, inaugurated two years later. A parking lot for the new facility was created on the site of the Sports Ground . After around 30 years, the state of New South Wales decided to demolish the outdated stadium and build a new building with up to 45,000 seats. Compared to its predecessor, the roof should cover all spectator seats, the view of the field should be improved, sufficient toilets should be available for women and access should also be made easier for visitors in wheelchairs. The cost was 729 million AUD (about 455 million € calculated). As a last event before the closure of the Sydney Football Stadium gave Canadian jazz - singer Michael Bublé concert in a farewell show for the stadium on 5 October 2018th

The design by Cox Architects was selected from the last four applicants and presented in mid-October 2018. In February 2019, the demolition work on the stadium structure such as the roof, the expansion joints and the access stairs by the NSW Land and Environment Court ( German  Land and Environment Court of New South Wales ) stopped until March 8 of that year. During this, z. B. the dismantling of the seats will continue. On March 8, a judge refused to extend the court order to prevent major work on Sydney Football Stadium and demolition was resumed. There were elections in the state of NSW on March 23, 2019. The opposition leader Michael Daley called for the demolition to be postponed until after the elections. If they had won the elections, the SFS would have been modernized instead of a new building.

In December 2019, an increase in costs from AUD 99 million to AUD 828 million (around € 503 million) became public. Additionally, in was Melbourne -based John Holland Group , a subsidiary of China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) as the executive construction company contracted to construct. In the new plans, the LED display on the roof edge and the LED curtain for the upper tiers were deleted after external experts had reviewed the plans. The curtain was a wish of the clubs to cover empty seats during the games. The games of the three clubs had an average attendance of around 13,500 to 15,000 spectators at that time. The cancellation saved A $ 46 million.

In April 2020, work began on the new Sydney Football Stadium , which should be completed in 2022. The NRL Grand Final , the final of the National Rugby League, is to be played in the new building in September or October 2022 .

At the end of June 2020, the joint application from Australia and New Zealand was awarded the contract for the 2023 Women's World Cup . The Sydney Football Stadium is on the list of possible venues for the title fights.
