History

As part of its successful bid to enter the A-League in 2019, Western United FC committed to build a 15,000 seat soccer-specific stadium in Tarneit to the west of Melbourne.[1] It will be the first major venue in Australia to be exclusively owned and operated by an A-League club, being funded through value capture.[2][3]

A training facility will be built adjacent to the new stadium.[4] Early works on the site commenced in October 2021.[5][6] It is scheduled for completion in 2023.[7][8]
