Cardiff set to host 2020 Guinness PRO14 Final

PRO14 Rugby has announced that the this season’s Guinness PRO14 Final will take place at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday 20th June 2020. This will mark the first time that Cardiff has hosted the event in the era of ‘Destination Finals’. The game has established a reputation as one of the most exciting events in the club rugby calendar with 14 teams from across Wales, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and South Africa all battling it out to reach the Championship decider. 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 that will create an incredible atmosphere. Fans can gain access to an exclusive pre-sale window for 48 hours on Monday 26th August by signing up as a member of PRO14 Xtra. Visit xtra.pro14rugby.org or download the Official PRO14 App to gain access. General sale tickets will be available on Wednesday 28th August and prices start at just £13 for concessions and £26 for adults (subject to booking fees). Family ticket prices begin at £64 and fans are encouraged to buy early to get the best value tickets. After much clamour to bring the Guinness PRO14 Final to Wales, Martin Anayi, PRO14 Rugby CEO, was delighted that Cardiff could play host the Championship’s biggest day of the season: “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. 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.” The race to Cardiff begins on Friday 27th September when Round 1 of the 2019/20 Guinness PRO14 season kicks off. Tickets for Ulster’s opening game against ospreys at Kingspan Stadium are available at ulsterrugby.com/buytickets.
