The stadium is also the venue for the annual Community World Cup, which is organised by the Latin American Association of WA.[5]
The stadium was originally known as the Lake Monger Velodrome and was popularly known as the Velodrome. In 1998 the stadium was renamed the E & D Litis Stadium after Evangelos and Despo Litis donated $150,000 to the Floreat Athena club.[3]
