The campus opened in 2009 as part of the major Leckwith Development, which included a new football and rugby stadium, Cardiff City Stadium, and a retail park.

In July 2015, Cardiff Council let the stadium and its grounds to Cardiff and Vale College, who further sublet the sports facilities to Cardiff City House of Sport.[2] This lease runs for 30 years as a result of which the stadium is no longer open to the public during the day, although evening opening is unaffected.

The £5.7million project took 46 weeks to build.[5]

Official opening

The official opening of Cardiff International Sports Campus was on 19 January 2009, attended by former Welsh athletics star Colin Jackson.[6]
