Stadium Trivia

MATRADE Loftus Road was first used on 11th October 1904 by Shepherd’s Bush FC, an amateur side that was disbanded during the First World War.

QPR’s nomadic history has seen the club travel to 14 different grounds. Despite this, the club have only had two stadiums since joining the Football league in 1920; Loftus Road and White City Stadium.

In 1981 the ground became the first stadium in British professional football to have an artificial ‘Omniturf’ pitch installed, which remained until 1988.

Loftus Road hosted Barry McGuigan’s fight with Eusebio Pedroza in 1985 for the WBA Featherweight Championship.

QPR have ground shared Loftus Road with two other sports clubs: Fulham Football Club from 2002-2004 and London Wasps (Rugby Union) 1996-2002.

Loftus Road also hosted the Game 4 Grenfell on 2nd September 2017. This was a charity football match to raise money for those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire by using the power of football for the people of Grenfell and the wider community.
