Birchmount Stadium, Sports stadium in Scarborough, Toronto, Canada.
Birchmount Stadium is a sports stadium in the Scarborough district of Toronto, Canada, with multiple playing fields and spectator seating. It is primarily oriented toward soccer and serves as a venue for youth competitions and amateur events.
The stadium became the home of the Robbie International Soccer Tournament in 1967, an event created to raise money for cystic fibrosis research. The tournament grew steadily over the following decades and made the venue a fixture in Scarborough's sporting life.
The stadium is named in a song by Canadian band The Barenaked Ladies, which gave it a place in the city's popular memory. Visitors who know the song often find the reference adds a layer of recognition to an otherwise local sports ground.
The stadium is well served by public transit and has basic facilities for visitors attending games or events. Arriving early on tournament days is a good idea, as parking near the site fills up quickly.
The Robbie Tournament has grown into one of the largest youth soccer tournaments in the world, drawing teams from dozens of countries. It started on this local ground in Scarborough and now regularly attracts participation on an international scale.
