Leichhardt Oval To Host 120 Sporting Fixtures In 2024

Inner West Council

Media release

Inner West Mayor Darcy Byrne

Amidst ongoing calls for Leichhardt Oval to be closed, Inner West Council has today announced that an extraordinary 120 individual sporting fixtures will be played at the Eighth Wonder of the World in 2024.

The schedule includes 120 individual fixtures played over 44 separate days at the iconic ground.

This massive program proves that this is not just Sydney's favourite suburban ground but also the hardest working.

Inner West Mayor, Darcy Byrne said, "Today we are announcing that 120 sporting fixtures will be played at Leichhardt Oval this year, proving once again that this is the best used and best loved suburban ground in Australia."

"This includes 28 women's fixtures as we continue to grow the 8th wonder of the world as a hub for women's sport.

"Some people think Leichhardt Oval should be starved of funds and closed but men's and women's rugby league, soccer and rugby union clubs are voting with their feet and playing there more than ever before."

"it's beyond belief that Penrith Stadium, which hosts just 11 men's rugby league games a year, is receiving $309 Million, while Leichhardt is left on the scrap heap."
