Queen Elizabeth Stadium, Grade II listed stadium in London Borough of Enfield, England.
The Queen Elizabeth Stadium is a football stadium in London Borough of Enfield with a listed Art Deco pavilion as its architectural centerpiece. The facility includes a main stand, covered terraces behind both goals, a six-lane running track, changing rooms, and a clubhouse area.
Construction of this venue began in 1939 as an athletics facility but was halted by World War II and finally completed in 1953. After the war, it became a training ground for prominent British athletes before eventually serving as a football club's home ground.
The stadium has long been home to Enfield Town Football Club and serves as a gathering place for the local community during match days. It reflects the importance of football in the area's daily life and brings neighbors together for shared sporting moments.
The stadium is easily accessible by public transport and provides parking for those arriving by car. The layout is relatively straightforward with multiple entry points, making it simple to find your way around on match days or during events.
The venue hosted matches during the 2018 ConIFA World Football Cup, an unofficial tournament for teams without recognition from major football associations. This made it a notable location for alternative football competition and provided a platform for non-traditional national teams.
