Craig HillSydney Football Stadium to hold A-League Grand Final
February 13th 2008 04:15
The Sydney Football Stadium (SFS), which has a capacity of 45,500, will play host to the A-League grand final on February 24 with kick-off at 5pm EDT.
The venue hosted the inaugural A-League grand final between Sydney FC and Central Coast Mariners in 2006 and was chosen once again the marquee game of the season due to its significant capacity advantage over contenders Bluetongue Stadium (20,000) and EnergyAustralia Stadium (26,000).
It is the first time the A-League grand final has not been played at the home ground of the first team to qualify for the showcase event, in this case, the Central Coast Mariners who have already booked a place in the showpiece final courtesy of a 3-2 aggregate win over Newcastle Jets in the major semi-final on February 10.
The second grand final spot is still up for grabs with the Newcastle Jets and Queensland Roar set to face-off in the preliminary final this Sunday (Feb. 17).
