Millennium Stadium, Cardiff

The Millennium Stadium, renamed as the Principality Stadium in 2016, stands as the national stadium of Wales and is a prominent landmark in Cardiff. Originally constructed for the 1999 Rugby World Cup, it replaced the older National Stadium and has since been a versatile venue for a variety of major events. The stadium is primarily the home of the Wales national rugby union team but has also hosted games for the Wales national football team.

Over the years, the stadium has accommodated diverse events such as the Tsunami Relief Cardiff concert, the Super Special Stage of Wales Rally Great Britain, the Speedway Grand Prix of Great Britain, and various high-profile concerts. Additionally, it served as an alternative venue for the FA Cup, League Cup, and Football League playoff finals from 2001 to 2006 during the redevelopment of Wembley Stadium. It also hosted football matches during the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Designed by Rod Sheard of Lobb Sports Architecture, the stadium features a distinct retractable roof, a pioneering design by Mike Otlet of WS Atkins, and constructed by Kelsey Roofing Industries. The stadium's construction was managed by Laing as the building contractor.

Opened in June 1999, its inaugural event was a test rugby match where Wales triumphed over South Africa. With a seating capacity of 74,500, it is the largest stadium in Wales and the fourth largest in the United Kingdom, boasting significant capacity within the Six Nations Championship and the world's stadiums with retractable roofs.

UEFA lists it as a category four stadium, and it was the selected venue for the prestigious 2017 UEFA Champions League Final. The stadium's name change in 2016 followed a 10-year sponsorship deal with the Principality Building Society, marking a new era for this iconic sporting venue.
