Those who love sports, after arriving in the Australian capital, should visit the famous Canberra Stadium, located in the suburb of Bruce in the Australian capital. Nearby is also the Australian Institute of Sports, which is considered the owner of this sports ground. Now it is also known as "GIO-stadium".
What is remarkable about the stadium?
Coverage throughout the territory is exclusively herbal. The stadium often hosts rugby and rugby football matches, as well as occasionally on football. He was recognized by many fans around the world after the 2015 Asian Football Cup was held here. In the previous decades, the Canberra City home team and Canberra City and Canberra Cosmos (football), as well as Canberra Bashrangers (rugby), were home teams of the Canberra Stadium. Now here are the training sessions of Canberra Raiders (National Rugby League) and Brambiz (Super Rugby League).
The stadium was built specifically for the games of the Pacific Conference in the late 1970s. At the end of the 1980s, the treadmill was dismantled, and during the 2000 Olympics, the size of the field was significantly reduced, so it became unsuitable for playing in American football.
There are 46 stands in the stadium that can accommodate up to 550 visitors, 220 seats for fans with disabilities, audio equipment for those who do not hear well, a large video crane and 60 open balconies designed for 8 people. The teams of the islands of Tonga, Fiji, Samoa, Argentina, Italy, Wales, Canada, Scotland, New Zealand, France, Lebanon took part in the rugby matches that were ever held at the stadium. Also here were football teams from South Korea, Oman, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, China, North Korea, Iraq, Iran, Palestine.
During the match, fans can relax in a small sports bar, but places in it must be reserved in advance. You will be offered canapes, snacks, hot dishes and desserts, as well as tea and coffee.
