Liberty Stadium sits in Swansea, on the south coast of Wales, and is the home of two of the region's best-known sporting teams. It is a multi-purpose venue with a capacity of 20,500, used mainly for football by Swansea City AFC and for rugby union by the Ospreys.
What a visit offers
The stadium opened in 2005 and has since become a central venue in South Wales sport. Over the years it has hosted international rugby and football matches, so it is a place where the atmosphere of a major fixture can be felt. Whether you come for a match or simply to see the ground from the outside, it gives a clear sense of how important sport is to the city.
Planning your trip
- Who plays here: Football for Swansea City AFC and rugby union for the Ospreys, so the fixtures change with the season.
- Size: A capacity of 20,500 makes it a manageable, intimate setting compared with the largest stadiums in the country.
- Location: It is in Swansea itself, so the city centre, its shops and its restaurants are within reach before or after a visit.
Because the stadium is used for several sports and for international events, it is worth checking the current fixture list before you travel, to see what is on during your stay.
