🏟️ Brief Description

Gtech Community Stadium is the modern home of Brentford FC, located in Brentford, West London. Opened in 2020, the stadium has a capacity of approximately 17,250 and represents a major step forward for the club following its move from the historic Griffin Park.

📝 History of Gtech Community Stadium

The stadium was developed as part of Brentford FC’s long-term vision to secure a sustainable future in top-flight football. After more than a century at Griffin Park, the club moved to the new site to gain increased capacity, improved commercial opportunities, and modern infrastructure.

Construction began in 2017, and the stadium officially opened in September 2020. The move coincided with a pivotal era in the club’s history, culminating in Brentford’s promotion to the Premier League in 2021 — the club’s first season in the top flight since 1947.

Named after stadium sponsor Gtech, the venue was built with a clear emphasis on fan experience, sightlines, and accessibility. Despite its modern design, it has quickly developed a reputation as a difficult place for visiting teams, with home supporters close to the pitch on all sides.
