TheSydney Football Stadium, commercially known asAllianz Stadium and previouslyAussie Stadium, was a footballstadium in theMoore Park suburb ofSydney,New South Wales,Australia. Built in 1988 next to theSydney Cricket Ground, the stadium was Sydney's premier rectangular field venue forrugby league,rugby union andfootball.
Australia's national football teams, theKangaroos, theWallabies and theSocceroos occasionally played at the stadium, while theSydney Roosters,NSW Waratahs, andSydney FC were the ground's major tenants. The stadium usually held bothNational Rugby League semi finals and one preliminary final, and also held the annual pre-seasonCharity Shield football match betweenSouth Sydney andSt George Illawarra for a number of years. It hosted allNew South Wales Rugby League/Australian Rugby League rugby league grand finals, as well as the first grand final under the NRL banner, between 1988 and 1998.
The NSW Government announced plans in November 2017 for the stadium to be demolished and rebuilt. The stadium closed on 5 October 2018, with the last event being aMichael Bublé concert. Demolition began in early 2019, continuing after several legal challenges and becoming a major issue during the2019 state election. It was ultimately replaced by thestadium of the same name opening on 28 August 2022.
Prior to its construction, major events were usually held at theSydney Cricket Ground (SCG), as it was the largest stadium in Sydney. Although it was used many times for such events, the SCG's oval shape meant it was not ideal for sports like soccer, rugby league and rugby union that require a rectangular field.
Sydney Football Stadium was built upon the formerSydney Sports Ground inMoore Park, and the former SCG No 2 adjacent to the existing SCG. Both were owned by theSydney Cricket Ground Trust. It was built byCivil & Civic[1] and officially opened byPremierBarrie Unsworth on 24 January 1988. The first sporting event was a rugby league match between theEastern Suburbs Roosters andSt George Dragons on 4 March 1988.
Itsseating capacity was 41,159, but after numerous expansions, finally stood at 45,500[citation needed], although the record attendance for a sporting event was 44,380[citation needed], set on 22 September 2018 for, ironically, the last sporting event it ever held: the2018 NRL Finals Series match between theSydney Roosters andSouth Sydney Rabbitohs.
The Sydney Football Stadium was theSydney Roosters' home ground from 1988. It was built on the site of the old Sydney Sports Ground which served as the Roosters home ground for decades, and the old SCG No 2 which served as a secondary ground for some state cricket matches, an additional training ground, and athletics. Both grounds were demolished in 1986 to make way for the SFS.
The first event held at the venue marked the beginning of the 1988 rugby league season, with a match between the then Eastern Suburbs Roosters and the St George Dragons on Friday 4 March 1988. St George won the game 24–14. The Roosters had to wait until Round 5 that season for their first win at the venue, defeating the Gold Coast Giants 28–10.
From 1988 to 1999 and from 2002 to 2005, it also served as the home ground for theSouth Sydney Rabbitohs.[2] The Rabbitohs returned to the ground with a one-off game against the Broncos in Round 25 of the2015 NRL season.[3]
The SFS has hosted rugby league footballtest matches since its opening in 1988 starting with two matches in Australia's1988 Ashes series win againstGreat Britain. The first game of the series saw theWally Lewis captained,Don Furner coached Australians christen their new Sydney home with a 17–6 win in front of 24,480 fans. That game was also the 100th test match between Australia and either Great Britain orEngland. The record international Rugby League crowd at the stadium was set for the first Ashes against Great Britain on their1992 Australasian Tour when Australia won 22–6 in front of 40,141 in what was the first time a test in Sydney had attracted over 40,000 fans since 1974. The stadium has also hosted theRugby League Tri-Nations, including the Final of the2006 tournament in which Australia triumphed 16–12 overNew Zealand inGolden point extra-time thanks to a try by captainDarren Lockyer.
Rugby league also had some memorable moments including: The first grand final in1988 sawCanterbury-Bankstown defeatBalmain 24–12 in front of 40,000 fans to send former club captainSteve Mortimer into retirement with a premiership. The match had its controversial moment when BulldogsFive-eighthTerry Lamb hit Tigers English importCentreEllery Hanley with a high tackle out of the game before the 30th minute: The1989 NSWRL grand final which was won by theCanberra Raiders over theBalmain Tigers 19-14 thanks to a try by replacement forwardSteve Jackson in extra-time for their first premiership: The1991 NSWRL grand final won by thePenrith Panthers over Canberra 19–12 in which Penrith'sRoyce Simmons scored 2 tries in his final match giving the Panthers their first title:Brisbane's maiden premiership with a 28–8 win overSt. George in1992 NSWRL grand final, highlighted by a 95-metre try to BroncosCentreSteve Renouf: and the1997 ARL Grand Final between theNewcastle Knights and theManly-Warringah Sea Eagles, with the Knights winning their first title with a 22–16 win following a try toDarren Albert in the dying seconds of the game after the Knights had trailed Manly since early in the game. Manly had won their previous 11 games against the Knights prior to that Grand Final.
The last grand final played at the SFS was the1998 NRL Grand Final between Canterbury and Brisbane. In front of 40,857 fans, the Broncos ran out easy 38-12 winners to win their fourth premiership from four grand Final appearances.
Two standout State Of Origin matches in whichQueensland triumphed overNew South Wales with last-minute victories in1994 and1998, as well asMichael O'Connor's sideline conversion in driving rain for a NSW win in Game 2 of the1991 series. Also of note was Queensland's backs to the wall win in Game 2 of the1989. Despite losingAllan Langer to a broken leg,Mal Meninga with a fractured eye socket andPaul Vautin with an elbow injury in the first half, plus losing wingerMichael Hancock to a shoulder injury in the second half, the Maroons triumphed 16–12 to wrap up the series. It was also found out after the game that Queensland's lock forwardBob Lindner had played most of the second half with a fractured ankle.[4]
The Sydney Football Stadium has been the venue of some of Australian sport's greatest matches and moments. The final of the 1993 World Youth Cup between Brazil and Ghana was also held at the SFS, Brazil winning 2–1. The 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifier between Australia and Argentina featuring Argentine association football legendDiego Maradona, finishing in a 1–1 draw with goals toAurelio Vidmar for Australia andAbel Balbo for Argentina. Despite the grounds increase in capacity since 1993, this match retains the record sporting attendance at the SFS and many more were actually in attendance as the gates were thrown open close to kick-off as a safety measure.
It was used as the venue for the2000 Summer Olympics Women'sassociation footballgold medal match betweenNorway and theUnited States. Norway defeated the USA 3–2 in front of 22,848 fans.[5]
In 2002, the naming rights were purchased by Aussie Home Loans in a 5-year + 5-year deal. Due to this, the stadium was renamedAussie Stadium. On 7 July 2007 the stadium reverted to its original Sydney Football Stadium name after Aussie Home Loans and the SCG Trust mutually elected not to extend the naming rights deal.
In 2003, the SFS hosted several matches in theRugby World Cup: (Ireland vNamibia), (Argentina vRomania), (Scotland vFiji), (South Africa vGeorgia), (Georgia vUruguay; this match was notable for attracting a crowd of 28,576, despite the low profiles of both teams).
In 2007 the Sydney Roosters High Performance Centre and Administrative departments set up their headquarters at the Sydney Football Stadium.[6]
The2008 Rugby League World Cup's opening ceremony andGroup A match betweenAustralia andNew Zealand was played at the Stadium. The SFS also hosted one game from theknockout stage: the second semi-final between Australia andFiji.
In 2012,Allianz Insurance secured the rights to the naming of the Sydney Football Stadium; the venue is now known asAllianz Stadium.[7]
In 2018, Allianz Stadium hosted one of three AFL pre-season mini competitions calledAFLX.[8]
In 2012Sydney Cricket Ground Trust announced a master plan to redevelop Sydney Football Stadium, as well asSydney Cricket Ground and the surrounding area, with a vision "for the SCG and Allianz Stadium is to create an exciting new concept for Sydney’s central sporting precinct - a revitalised, world-class, sports and recreation facility for NSW and Australia". The development of Sydney Football Stadium would have included a new fully covered roof and a newLEDfacade mesh for the stadium which would allow the exterior to change colours to suit the home team, similar to Munich'sAllianz Arena. As well, development to the surrounding area would have included a new public plaza between the Sydney Cricket Ground and Sydney Football Stadium, new transport infrastructure, new underground car parks (4,100 cars) and development of the surrounding parkland. The scheduled start date for the project would have commenced after the completion of the Sydney Cricket Ground redevelopment, in January 2014.[citation needed] In early 2015, the video screens were replaced with large High Definition screens similar to the one at the Dally Messenger Stand at the SCG.
In September 2015, the New South Wales Government announced a proposal to replace the SFS with a new 50,000 to 55,000 seat venue.[9][10] The proposed new stadium was cancelled in April 2016, with the SFS to be refurbished instead.
On 8 March 2019, the New South Wales Government announced that the stadium would be completely demolished and rebuilt.[citation needed]
In 2017 the NSW Government announced that the Sydney Football Stadium along withStadium Australia would be demolished and rebuilt at a cost of $2.3 billion.[11] The final event at the stadium was aMichael Bublé concert on 5 October 2018. Demolition began in early 2019.In December 2019, the NSW Government awarded the construction contract for the newSydney Football Stadium to the John Holland Group, with a planned completion date in time for the September 2022 NRL Grand Final.[12]
The plan to demolish and rebuild Stadium Australia was later scrapped in favour of refurbishment.[13]
