Description
Available in:
The Melbourne Rectangular Stadium, referred to as AAMI Park due to a sponsorship arrangement, is an outdoor sports stadium situated on the grounds of Edwin Flack Field within the Sports and Entertainment Precinct in the heart of the Melbourne central business district.
Upon its completion in 2010, it became Melbourne's inaugural large, purpose-built rectangular stadium. Prior to this project, the primary venues were the oval-configured Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) and Docklands Stadium, primarily suited for Australian rules football and cricket. The city's former largest rectangular stadium, Olympic Park, had been repurposed from a track and field facility.
Notably, the stadium's main occupants include the National Rugby League squad, the Melbourne Storm; the Super Rugby contenders, the Melbourne Rebels; and two A-League Men contenders, namely Melbourne Victory FC and Melbourne City FC. Additionally, the venue was one of five chosen for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, responsible for hosting the inaugural match and six subsequent games, including a quarter-final match. Furthermore, it is designated to stage matches during the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. The stadium also hosted matches for the Four Nations in 2010 and 2014, along with serving as a venue for the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.
While known as the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium during its construction phase, the facility has been recognized as AAMI Park since its inauguration in March 2010, resulting from a sponsorship partnership with the insurance firm AAMI.
