Sydney’s Olympic stadium will be given a A$150m makeover that will include the installation of a retractable glass roof if Australia is awarded the football World Cup in 2018 or 2022.
The plans, which also propose the addition of another 7,000 seats, lifting capacity to 90,000, would ensure the venue was chosen to stage the final ahead of Melbourne Cricket Ground, according to reports in Australia.
Newspapers quoted an unnamed source as saying: “We won’t get it with a venue that hasn’t changed much since the Olympics because Fifa will want a stadium that’s a monument for the world game and even bigger than the Olympics. This makeover will deliver that. It will knock Melbourne out.”
