AAMI Park (Melbourne) - Sports Tourist

AAMI Park (or the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium) opened in 2010 as Melbourne’s primary and first purpose-built rectangular stadium – meaning it was designed to host Football (Soccer) and Rugby. The city’s previous primary venue for these sports, the Olympic Park Stadium had become unsuitable and had a limited capacity of 18,000.

The new venue with a capacity of 30,000 opened on the 7th May 2010, hosting rugby league’s 2010 ANZAC Test in which Australia defeated New Zealand 12-8. The first football match was played 3 months later, as Melbourne Heart (now Melbourne City) lost 1-0 to the Central Coast Mariners in an A-League fixture. The first rugby match was the newly formed Melbourne Rebels’ first ever Super Rugby match as they lost 43-0 to the Waratahs.

The stadium is now the home venue of four teams – the Melbourne Storm rugby league side who play in the NRL, the Melbourne Rebels rugby union side in the play in Super Rugby and the football/soccer teams Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory who both play in the A-League.

Major events hosted at the ground include 7 matches (including the opening game and a quarter-final) of the 2015 AFC Asian Cup and 2 matches at the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.
