History & description
Bankwest Stadium, also known as Western Sydney Stadium, is the recently opened new stadium of the Western Sydney Wanderers.
When Western Sydney Wanderers joined the A-League in 2012, they chose Parramatta Stadium as their home ground. While various upgrades were made in the first few years, a larger redevelopment was needed to turn Parramatta Stadium into a modern venue, and in 2015 the state government announced that a new stadium would be built in its place.
Demolition of the old stadium started in early 2017, and works on the new began in September 2017. The new stadium officially opened on 14 April 2019 with an opening ceremony but it took until July for the first football match to be played.
Besides being the home of the Western Sydney Wanderers, the stadium is also the home of rugby league club Parramatta Eels.
