The Professional Footballers Australia has come out with their end of season report on stadiums for the Women’s game and placed Leichhardt Oval at the top for atmosphere.
Following each match, players are invited to vote on factors such as pitch quality and stadium atmosphere at all venues this season and the Inner West oval came out on top with a 4/5 rating.
“We’ve always said our Members and fans are second to none and this fantastic recognition is further proof,” Sydney FC CEO Mark Aubrey said.
“Everyone who comes to our games at Leichhardt Oval brings with them their passion for Sydney FC, their desire to spur the team on and their willingness to congratulate our girls at full time, win, lose or draw.
“It’s a superb place to be on game day and I recommend those who haven’t been to come and try it.”
Michelle Morris, who is the Capo of the The Cove (Sydney FC’s active group) at the Sky Blues’ A-League Women’s games added: “Leichhardt Oval provides the perfect setting for an electric atmosphere.
“The Cove brings the noise in full voice from behind the goal, setting the tone while the grandstand adds to the vibrant energy that lifts the team.”
