Everything you need to know about Cardiff City Stadium
The Cardiff City Stadium is a major sports venue in Wales, serving as the home to both Cardiff City Football Club and the Wales national football team. Officially opened in 2009, it is the second-largest stadium in Wales after the Principality Stadium, with a seating capacity of 33,280.
For 99 years, Cardiff City played at the legendary, intimidating Ninian Park. By the early 2000s, the old ground was outdated and plans for a new all-seater arena were approved to help the club modernize.
Construction started in 2007 on the site of the old Leckwith Athletics Stadium, with the project costing around £48 million. The new Cardiff City Stadium opened its doors with a friendly match against Scottish club Celtic in July 2009, which ended in a 0–0 draw.
Memorable moments at the Cardiff City Stadium
- The Belgium Epic (2015): Wales defeated Belgium 1-0 thanks to a legendary Gareth Bale goal, setting a stadium record attendance of 33,280 and paving the way for their historic Euro 2016 run.
- World Cup Qualification (2022): 'The Red Wall' sang their hearts out under the floodlights as Wales defeated Ukraine 1-0, which meant they qualified for their first FIFA World Cup in 64 years.
- Real Madrid and the UEFA Super Cup (2014): The venue took centre stage when it hosted the UEFA Super Cup. Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 2-0, with superstar Cristiano Ronaldo scoring both goals on the Cardiff turf.
Rock and Roll: It is not just used for sport of course. The stadium is a major concert venue and has hosted massive music acts including Bon Jovi, Elton John, Rod Stewart, and the Stereophonics.
