Introduction
The Melbourne Cricket Ground was the main stadium and location for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. As the largest sports venue in the Southern Hemisphere, it has a seating capacity of 98,500. The venue is not only a frequently used large sports arena, but also served as the main venue for the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Every year, the Australian Football League finals are held here, and Australian football games are played every week, often sold-out. In recent years, the Melbourne Cricket Ground has also served as the home ground for the Australian national football team, hosting World Cup qualifiers, Asian Cup qualifiers, and friendly matches. The Melbourne Cricket Ground continues to renovate its facilities to provide better support for hosting the Australian 2022 World Cup and future international sporting events.
