Cardiff City Stadium will host the 2020 Guinness PRO14 Final on June 20th 2020.

The Guinness PRO14 Final has enjoyed four record attendances in a row and now the Cardiff City Stadium with its 33,280 capacity promises to provide a sold-out spectacle for fans of the two that emerge from the 14 teams that will compete in this year’s tournament.

Fans can gain access to an exclusive presale window for 48 hours on Monday, August 26 by signing up as a member of PRO14 Xtra.

General sale tickets will be available on Wednesday, August 28 with prices starting at a very reasonable £26 for adults or £64 for a family ticket.

Electric Welcome

Former Cardiff Blues flanker Sam Warburton is in no doubt that Cardiff City Stadium will provide an electric welcome for the two Finalist teams.

“Rugby has always been a sport at the heart of Wales and having another world-class rugby event in our capital city is very exciting. I’ve seen a couple of matches in Cardiff City Stadium and the atmosphere can be electric with the right crowd – it’s going to be a great final whichever of the teams make it.”

“Being a Cardiff boy myself, I could be biased, but it really is a great city with a great community. As the crow flies, the Cardiff City Stadium is under a mile from the city centre, so it makes a great location for fans wanting to make a day or a weekend of the event.”

“We have long heard the voices of the Welsh fans who wanted to see the Guinness PRO14 Final take place here and it’s great that all of the pieces have finally fallen into place for 2020,” added Guinness PRO14 Rugby CEO Martin Anayi.

Sell-Out

“Choosing Cardiff City Stadium as the location for next year’s Final allows us to aim for a sell-out event after four successive years of setting new attendance records.”

“Bringing the Final to Wales is another move in making the Championship decider about supporters of rugby, not just fans of the teams involved, and we know from experience that Welsh supporters are the most vocal.”

“Cardiff City Stadium also brings us to a football venue for the second year in a row after the tremendous success of our most recent Final in Glasgow’s Celtic Park.”

“We are hugely encouraged by the enthusiasm of Wayne Nash and his team at Cardiff City Stadium because they are passionate rugby fans who are used to hosting world-class events in sports and entertainment and that experience will help make our final a big success.”

“Although the stadium itself may be known for the round ball, Cardiff is one of the most attractive rugby cities across the world and we hope that it’s not just the local fans who are excited, but everyone from around our competing nations and beyond.”

The race to Cardiff begins on September 27 when Round 1 of the 2019/20 Guinness PRO14 season kicks off.
