An additional live site in Parramatta for the Women’s World Cup has been confirmed with Western Sydney Stadium to be open on Wednesday night for Australia’s Semi Final against England.
The match at Stadium Australia is already sold out.
The State Government says details around ticketing and access to the Western Sydney Stadium screening will be revealed tomorrow.
The live broadcast screens in Cathy Freeman Park, outside Stadium Australia, will once again be activated for the Matildas’ game, following the application process.
“The Matildas run at this FIFA World Cup has captured the nation; their Quarter Final win was the highest rating TV event since Cathy Freeman’s 400m gold medal run at the Sydney Olympic Games,” Premier Chris Minns said.
“We’re opening up more big screens at Western Sydney Stadium and the Sydney Football Stadium – we want to give NSW every chance to break that viewing record.
“This is a once in a generation moment in Australian sport, and I want as many people as possible to be able to share in the excitement of the match in front of big screens with a community atmosphere.”
