Cardiff City Stadium

Key facts

Club: Cardiff City FC | Opening: 2009 | Capacity: 33,338 seats

History and description

Cardiff City Stadium officially opened on the 22nd of July 2009 with a friendly match between Cardiff City and Celtic. It replaced Cardiff’s old ground Ninian Park, which by the early 2000s had become severely outdated.

Plans for a new stadium had already been approved in 2005, but it had taken until 2007 for construction to begin due to the club’s financial problems.

Cardiff City Stadium has recently hosted various internationals of the Wales national team as the Millennium Stadium was deemed too large for the occasion.

In 2013, following the club’s promotion to the Premier League, Cardiff announced plans to increase capacity to just under 33,500 seats by adding a second tier to the Ninian Stand. Despite the club’s relegation at the end of the season, works went ahead anyway and were completed before the start of the 2014-15 season.

In 2015, Cardiff City Stadium hosted the UEFA Super Cup between Champions League winner Real Madrid and Europa League winner Sevilla (2-0).

How to get to Cardiff City Stadium

Cardiff City Stadium is located slightly more than a mile east of Cardiff city centre and Cardiff Central Rail station. The walk takes about 30 minutes.

The closest rail station is Grangetown, to which regular trains run from Cardiff Central. The journey takes less than 5 minutes and the walk from the station to the stadium a further 5 to 10 minutes.

If arriving by car, leave the M4 motorway at junction 33 and take the A4232 toward Cardiff/Barry. After about 6 miles take the exit toward the B4267. There will be signs guiding you to the stadium.
