Get to know Stadium Australia, the scene for the game of our lives

A stadium rich in a wide variety of sporting history seems like the best possible location for the most important match in the history of Spanish women's football.

Stadium Australia, which this Sunday will host the World Cup final between Spain and England, is a majestic venue, is the pride of the most populated city in Australia.

It was the hosting of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games that led to the construction of Stadium Australia, the venue for the athletics and football competitions, with Spain taking silver against Cameroon in the final.

Future world champions such as Carles Puyol, Carlos Marchena, Joan Capdevila and Xavi Hernández were part of the team that failed to beat the African team in a penalty shootout followed live by more than 100,000 spectators.

Four Spanish world champions, including Carles Puyol, Carlos Marchena, Joan Capdevila and Xavi Hernandez, won silver at Stadium Australia during the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.

With a current capacity of just over 75,000, Stadium Australia is a regular venue for Australian football and rugby competitions and during the current Women's World Cup it has been packed out for all the knockout rounds so far, including this week’s semi-final between the hosts and England.

The Lionesses will be Spain's opponents in the historic final this Sunday on a pitch that will always be an emblematic place for Spanish football, and on which the National Team has been practicing and enjoying playing in the dark red and gold shirts that will be worn for this historic match this Sunday.
