Stadium Information

The Cardiff City Stadium, opened in July 2009, is a multifunctional stadium located in the Leckwith area of Cardiff, Wales. With a capacity for 33,280 spectators, it is the second largest stadium in Cardiff and Wales, surpassed only by the Millennium Stadium. This venue has been the home of the Cardiff City Football Club since its opening and also hosts matches of the Wales national football team.

The stadium is part of a broader development in Leckwith, which includes the Cardiff International Sports Stadium, a business park, and new road infrastructure. It was built on the site of the old Cardiff athletics stadium, replacing the historic Ninian Park as the home of Cardiff City FC. The modern design of the stadium and its facilities make it a prominent center for sports events and concerts in the region.

Over the years, the Cardiff City Stadium has hosted notable events, including the UEFA Super Cup in 2014, where Real Madrid faced Sevilla FC, and the final of the UEFA Women's Champions League in 2017. In addition to football matches, the stadium has hosted concerts by renowned artists such as Stereophonics and Elton John, establishing itself as an important entertainment venue in Wales.

In December 2009, the construction of a statue in honor of Fred Keenor, captain of the team that won the FA Cup in 1927, was confirmed. The statue, funded by fans through the Cardiff City Supporters Trust, was unveiled in November 2012 and is located near the stadium, paying tribute to a iconic figure in the club's history.
