The Pro-Series goal posts from PILA group® will be a feature at the MCG as the sports stadium hosts soccer friendlies during the International Champions Cup.
Better known as the venue for cricket matches and the AFL Grand Final, the MCG has hosted several soccer games from friendlies to World Cup qualifiers and Olympic competitions. Some of the best teams in the world have played at the MCG including Manchester United, Brazil, Argentina and Liverpool.
Thanks to the efforts of the Victorian Government, the Australian leg of the International Champions Cup to be held at the MCG will feature reigning European champions and FIFA Club of the 20th Century, Real Madrid, along with the world’s current best player, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Previously confined to North America, the International Champions Cup has expanded to include Australia for 2015, bringing together three of the biggest names in European club football – Real Madrid, Manchester City and AS Roma – to play an exclusive three-match round robin tournament at the MCG from 18 July to 25 July. PILA’s new international broadcasting standard Pro-Series football goal posts will be used during the competition.
PILA’s Pro-Series soccer goal posts are specifically designed for elite level televised events. FIFA’s regulations require football goals in televised games to have black free-hanging net support posts instead of the more common white ones.
PILA's Pro-Series goal posts meet Australian and international standards and have already proven popular with Football NSW choosing them for their Valentine Sports Park fields.
