Cardiff City to share new stadium
Cardiff City's new home will be shared with the Welsh capital's rugby union teams. Cardiff Blues will leave the Arms Park on completion of the FA Cup finalists' new 25,000-capacity stadium next year.
City chairman Peter Ridsdale said: 'It's a fantastic day for sport in the city, whereby two leading brands will be playing top-level sport in the new stadium.
'We are very pleased that Cardiff Blues have signed the licence to play all of their home games at the stadium over the next 20 years.
'Both Cardiff City Football Club and Cardiff Blues have already agreed a new training headquarters at the Vale of
Glamorgan Resort. And the announcement today further demonstrates how important it is for major sporting brands in Cardiff to be working together for the benefit of the wider community.'
Blues chief executive, Robert Norster, added: 'We positively look forward to a new beginning for both codes in a stadium and facilities designed for modern-day teams and supporters alike.
'The move will also ensure we can advance and develop further the Cardiff Blues region in the increasingly competitive world of professional rugby.'
