Melbourne Victory FC is a professional soccer club based in Melbourne, Victoria. It competes in the country's premier competition, the A-League, under license from Football Federation Australia.
AAMI Park is Melbourne’s premier rectangular sports and entertainment venue. The 30,000-seat state-of-the-art stadium was a long-overdue addition to the sporting landscape in Melbourne when it opened in 2010, with events previously held next door at the now-demolished Olympic Park.
Situated within the Melbourne sports precinct along with the MCG, Rod Laver Arena and Melbourne Arena, the venue is operated by the Melbourne Olympic Parks Trust (MOPT). Opened in May 2010, AAMI Park has an all-seating capacity of 30,050 and offers an intimate atmosphere with not a bad seat in the house.
The stadium is ideal for all rectangular sports and is the home ground of Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City Football Club (A-League), Melbourne Storm Rugby League Club (NRL) and the Melbourne Rebels Super Rugby franchise. It also plays host to international matches and hosted Melbourne's matches during the 2015 Asian Cup. During this event, and ACL matches, the venue is simply known as Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.
