History
Campbelltown Stadium has been used for top level rugby league since 1987 when the Western Suburbs Magpies made the move from their inner western base of Lidcombe. At that time the ground was known as Orana Park. The Magpies had made the move in a bid to provide a more assured future as their new home was based in a rapidly expanding area in the outer south-west of Sydney. A new leagues club was developed next to the ground.
Current use
The Stadium is still home to the Western Suburbs Magpies, and is used on an occasional basis by the Wests Tigers, with four of their twelve annual home games played there, in accordance with their stadium deals.
On 19 July 2008 Australian A-League team Sydney FC played their first Pre-Season Cup match against Queensland Roar. Sydney won the match 2–1 in front of roughly 4,500 fans. Sydney FC also played a pre-season friendly here in preparation for their 2010-11 A-League season against local club Macarthur Rams in which Sydney won 1–0.
Sydney FC will play their first full match for A-League points at Campbelltown Stadium against Perth Glory on 7 December 2011.[1]
