Doha Stadium

Doha Stadium is a modern sports facility in Sakhnin with approximately 8,500 seats and standard equipment for professional football matches and events. The infrastructure supports regular training sessions and various sporting gatherings throughout the year.

The facility opened in 2005 with support from the Qatari National Olympic Committee, which provided 6 million dollars for construction. The project represented a major step in the town's sports development.

The stadium is home to Bnei Sakhnin football club, which brings together Jewish and Arab players in Israeli professional leagues. Supporters from different backgrounds gather here, giving matches a distinct character that reflects the town's diversity.

Access to the stadium is available year-round, though visitors should check ahead before match days for best planning. The facility is centrally located in town, making it easy to reach and park.

The stadium represents a rare Gulf state investment in Israeli sports infrastructure that directly benefited an Arab-majority town. This was an unusual investment path during that era.
