Stadium Australia is definitely one of the most exciting entertainment arenas in the region and was the centerpiece of the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The venue had already welcomed more than 30 million fans since it was inaugurated in 1999.

From now on, according to a seven-year sponsorship agreement, the ground will be called Accor Stadium. It has the capacity to hold concerts for 100,000 spectators and over 80,000 people for seated sporting events. The facility was previously known as ANZ Stadium (2008-2020) when it held the record in terms of the naming rights deal in Australia.

Under its new name, the stadium will also provide a range of new benefits for members of the ALL - Accor Live Limitless loyalty program, with points able to be redeemed for a variety of money-can’t-buy experiences.

Together with the new partner coming on board, the stadium will be upgraded soon with a new 1,200 square meters LED screen. The new equipment is the longest high-definition straight-run stadium video display anywhere in the world, as we informed just a few months ago.
