אצטדיון האתלטיקה ע"ש קרלי קריגר, Athletics stadium in Neve Shaanan district, Haifa, Israel
The Karly Kriger Athletics Stadium is a sports facility in Haifa designed for competitive events and recreational use. The grounds include eight Rekortan running tracks, a grass field for soccer training and league matches, and covered seating areas.
The stadium opened in 1996 on land that once held a soccer field, marking the beginning of competitive athletics in Haifa. A renovation in 2001 added covered seating to improve conditions for spectators.
A memorial wall at the stadium honors eleven athletes who died at the 1972 Munich Olympics, creating a space where visitors can pause and remember. This tribute shapes the character of the place and connects it to a moment that touched people worldwide.
The facility is located in the Neve Shaanan district and welcomes visitors during training sessions and events. It is helpful to check ahead for scheduled activities, as access may be limited during private competitions or intensive training periods.
The stadium has only 900 completed seats even though the original plan called for 2,700, a consequence of the donor's death during construction. This explains why the concrete grandstand appears unfinished to visitors today.
