The Edmonton Soccer Dome is an air-supported structure located in Edmonton, Canada.
Predominately used for soccer, the facility stands 25.6 m (84 ft) tall and features a FieldTurf CORE artificial turf playing surface that covers 12,541 m2 (134,990 sq ft), making it the largest sports dome in Canada.[11][12] Construction on the dome began in October 2017 at a cost of CA$7 million, officially opening in October 2018.[13]
Along with its primary tenant Edmonton Scottish SC, the dome also served as the pre-season training facility for the former Canadian Premier League club FC Edmonton and as a temporary home for the ACAC's NAIT Ooks during the replacement of NAIT station.[14][15] In addition to the facility and its grounds being named in the United 2026 FIFA World Cup bid as a potential team base camp in 2018, the dome has most notably hosted La Liga squad Real Valladolid, the Canadian men's national team, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.[16][17][18][19]
