Eden Park set to be renamed

Auckland's iconic stadium, Eden Park is reportedly in for a name change after selling its naming rights.

According to Newshub, the iconic sporting venue has sold its naming rights to ASB Bank.

It is unclear at the moment what name will be given to the park, but the report says Eden Park will be renamed in time for the second Bledisloe Cup test on the 18th of this month.

The rights have likely been sold to ease financial pressure from the COVID-19 downturn.

Eden Park began as a cricket ground in 1903 and has since hosted major sporting events including two Rugby World Cup finals.

Meanwhile, the first Bledisloe Cup Test will be played in Wellington at 3pm this Sunday, with 28,000 tickets sold in the 34,500 capacity venue.
