About
Purpose-built as the main stadium and centrepiece for the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Accor Stadium is Australia’s Home Ground.
More than 27 million fans have walked through the turnstiles and shared in the passion, excitement and drama of some of Australia’s greatest events and most iconic sporting moments since opening.
These unforgettable highlights have become part of Australia’s sporting folklore – Cathy Freeman’s dash that unified the nation, the John Aloisi penalty shootout heart-stopper that broke the Socceroos’ 32-year World Cup hoodoo, the exhilaration and despair of the 2003 Rugby World Cup final, the South Sydney Rabbitohs winning their first NRL title in 43 years, and so many legends created in the heat of battle in Grand Finals, Origin showdowns, Bledisloe Cup Test matches and Football blockbusters.
International sporting superstars such as David Beckham, Alessandro Del Piero and Jonny Wilkinson have graced the hallowed turf at major events, including the Rugby World Cup, British and Irish Lions Test, and visits by Football super clubs Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus.
Accor Stadium has also been Sydney’s first-choice venue for some of the world’s biggest entertainment acts such as Adele, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, U2, Justin Bieber, Bon Jovi, Foo Fighters and Eminem, just to name a few.
