The Sky Park Centre of Excellence for Sydney Football Club unites all its members under one roof for first time in the Club’s history, creating a facility that celebrates and strengthens their family values, bringing together fans, staff, professional players, and the academy’s rising stars within Sky Park.
The restrained rigor of the building’s forms, volumes, and materials reflect the ethos of its home neighbourhood; combining an aspirational vision for Australian football with a strong and hard-wearing community foundation. The simple elegance and open plan interiors provide a high-quality space for the Club, balancing the needs for a modern commercial workplace with the facilities required for a cutting-edge training centre.
Managing various site and pandemic considerations, the design team worked collaboratively throughout with the Club, project stakeholders and contractors during a period of industry uncertainty to ensure a premier facility was delivered.
Sydney FC’s Sky Park Centre of Excellence brings together our professional football teams, youth academy, and coaching and administrative staff for the very first time, allowing us to operate more effectively and efficiently.
These multi-purpose facilities allowed us to create an elite female development pathway to our women’s squad for the most talented young female footballers. At the same time we have expanded our grassroots programs to have an even greater positive impact on our community.
The state of the art precinct provides worldclass, high-performance training facilities and improvements to our male and female pathway development, strengthening our club’s connection to our fanbase.
