Linkbelt Oval

The Linkbelt Oval is a sports stadium that sits beside Menen Stadium.  It is located in Aiwo and was constructed by the Nauru Phosphate Corporation.  It is also called the Aida Oval, because Aida, one of the athletic organisations in Nauru, holds its competitions and training here. The Linkbelt Oval hosts football and soccer matches under Australian rules. It also has a capacity of 3,000 spectators which was achieved during the championship finale in 1999.  The Linkbelt Oval has no grass but the playing surface is comprised completely of phosphate dust and dirt.  For this reason, the motto of the NAFA is “the hard men of football”.
