The Hubert Murray Stadium is a sports venue located in Port Moresby, the capital city of Papua New Guinea.
[1] The athletics events and the opening and closing ceremonies were held at the new stadium,[1] which was named after Sir Hubert Murray, a former lieutenant governor.
With an initial capacity of approximately 15,000 spectators, it was used for Australian football, soccer and school athletic events after the 1969 games.
[3] In late 2003, a three-stage redevelopment of the site at a cost of K120 million via a public-private partnership began to expand the capacity to seat 25,000 people.
[4] The plans for the six-storey main stand included eight restaurants and a gymnasium with the facilities to host the weightlifting competition for the 2015 Pacific Games.
