Borg El Arab Stadium

The facility features a capacity of 86,000 seats arranged across four tiers with modern lighting systems and a large cantilevered roof covering half of the spectator areas.

Construction began in 2005 as part of Egypt's bid to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup, with the Egyptian Armed Forces overseeing the project that was completed in 2007.

The stadium serves as the home ground for the Egyptian national football team and has hosted major tournaments including the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup opening match.

Located 25 kilometers west of Alexandria city center along the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road, the venue is accessible via Borg El Arab Airport situated 10 kilometers away.

The complex includes two full-size training pitches, a 200-bed hotel, restaurants, a conference hall, parking for 5,000 cars, and a helicopter landing pad for four aircraft.
