Hard to see, but a pretty embarrasing scoreboard

CLUB HISTORY: (aussport.gov.au)

AIS Men’s Football is an internationally renowned residential program, which has produced many high-quality players in domestic and international clubs.
It was established in 1981, as one of the AIS’s eight founding sports, with two broad aims: to identify and develop players for the national under-20 youth team, and to develop coaches through the scholarship coaching scheme.
In 2009, the program altered its focus to specifically train athletes usually aged 16 and turning 17 for the AIS’s youth team, which competes in Football Federation Australia’s National Youth League.
Scholarships are initially offered for one year, with the option of a second subject to the player meeting expectations.


STADIUM HISTORY: (ausstadiums.com)

The AIS Athletics Track was originally constructed in 1985 as the warm-up track for the World Cup Athletics which were held next door at the National Athletics Stadium (now Canberra Stadium). With the removal of the athletics track from that venue in 1990, this has become the main venue for athletics in the nation’s capital.

The venue features a covered grandstand, lighting and an electronic scoreboard. The total capacity is around 5,000.
