It has primarily been used for soccer, softball and football, but often hosts special events, including the annual Great Canadian Beer Festival. In July of 2007 Royal Athletic Park was one of six venues selected to host the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup. This spectacular event transformed Royal Athletic Park into a world class soccer venue with seating for 10,500 spectators. Current Users
