Fairfield Showground was always envisaged to be a place for the whole community to enjoy – for elite and grassroots sports teams, for families to come together to kick a ball around and for visitors from across Sydney to come enjoy one of the many festivals and concerts that will be held here.

 I am excited to announce that A-League club Macarthur FC has chosen to use Fairfield Showground as its training base for the coming A-League season. The Showground’s new elite sports facilities will give Macarthur FC the edge when it begins training in September for its first year in the A-League.

It’s great to have Macarthur FC as a hirer of the Showground’s facilities, and they’re not alone. The Showground continues to be made available to all codes, all sports and all levels. Macarthur FC joins a long list of hirers who are making the most of the great facilities we have on offer in the heart of our City.

We want everyone to have access to the best facilities available. That’s why Council has created this regional multicultural and sporting centre of excellence. If your team or club is looking for a great place to train and play, the Showground is here for you.

Welcoming Macarthur FC to Fairfield Showground as a training base is a proud moment for our City, no matter who we support. It showcases the importance of this wonderful facility and reinforces the investment in the Showground.
