The Allianz Stadium is a rugby and football stadium in Sydney, Australia. The former Sydney Football Stadium was built on the site of the old Sydney Sports Ground as the first " rectangular stadium" in Sydney in 1988. At first it was mainly used as a venue for rugby league games, today rugby union and football is played there but.

It was built as an addition to the Sydney Cricket Ground in the immediate vicinity, since the local oval pitch is less suitable for sports such as football or rugby.
