Sydney Olympic Park, Stadium Australia, Women's World Cup

Stadium Australia is in the western suburb of Sydney Olympic Park. It was originally built in 1999 as the Sydney Olympic Stadium for the 2000 Summer Olympic Games. It has also been commercially branded as Telstra Stadium, ANZ Stadium and Accor Stadium. The stadium is hosting the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the soccer tournament which is taking place from 20 July to 20 August 2023, jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand. Australia has made it to the semi-finals for the first time and will be playing against England tonight. The 'Forest of Poles' in the foreground is the 'Games Memories' sculpture.
