Greenfield Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Trelawny, Jamaica that was completed in 2007. It has a capacity of 25,000 people.[1] It was built under an agreement between Jamaica and the People's Republic of China, that saw the PRC Government put up at least US$30-million needed for the project.[2]
It will mostly be used for cricket and hosted matches during the 2007 Cricket World Cup, including several warm-up matches and the opening ceremony of the championship.[1]
The stadium has also been used for Jamaica's national football team as a second venue. The Reggae Boyz played a World Cup qualifier here against the Bahamas in 2008 and some Caribbean Cup matches were held there. For the 2011-2012 Jamaican National Premier League season, the stadium will be the home of Village United F.C.
