The Hubert Murray Stadium is a sports venue located in Port Moresby, the capital city of Papua New Guinea. It was developed for the 1969 South Pacific Games on reclaimed land at Konedobu that had previously been shoreline mangroves.[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. A redeveloped rectangular format was opened in 2022 after a redevelopment stalled for almost two decades and now hosts the Port Moresby Vipers rugby league team.[2] As of 2023, it has capacity for 20,000 spectators.[3]
