The Scotstoun Sports Campus is located approximately four miles to the west of Glasgow city centre, on the north of the River Clyde.
The multi-faceted Scotstoun Sports Campus will form one of the precincts of the Games, hosting both the Squash and Table Tennis competitions. Owned by Glasgow City Council and recently refurbished, the venue is already a popular sporting and community resource which includes the National Badminton Academy, indoor tennis centre and other fitness facilities.
At Games Time Scotstoun will make good use of its six new permanent squash courts for singles matches, with the capability of conversion to four doubles courts. It will also feature a glass-walled show court; ensuring spectators get a great view of the action.
The Table Tennis competitions will be played across two show courts and eight match courts.
Post-Games, Scotstoun’s upgraded facilities will be a valuable resource for future international championships and for use by elite and aspiring athletes.
Fast facts
- The land the Scotstoun Sports Campus sits on was once used as a venue for agricultural shows, but by 1915 a running track and grandstand had been installed and sporting events were regularly taking place there.
- Since late 2012, Scotstoun Stadium has been the official home of the Glasgow Warriors rugby team.
