Thamir Stadium

Thamir Stadium, Football stadium in Salmiya, Kuwait.

Thamir Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Al Salmiya, Kuwait, used mainly for football and home to Al Salmiya Club. Its three-tier stands hold 14,000 spectators, divided into first (1,264), second (2,175) and third (4,566) classes. The 5,665 m² project includes VIP reception, changing rooms and a press and broadcast box.

The contract for the stadium was signed on 5 November 2002 by Sheikh Fahad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, then head of the Public Authority for Youth and Sports, at a value of 1.08 million Kuwaiti dinars. It was handed over to Al-Salmiya Club on 28 December 2004, built by Abdul Rahman Al-Bashir's company in 24 months at a final cost of 1.3 million dinars. The opening festival match on 5 June 2007, Kuwait's Al-Salmiya against Portugal, ended 1-1 with goals from Fahad Al-Rashed (Al-Salmiya) and João Tomás.

The stadium serves as the home ground for Al-Salmiya Sports Club, where fans and players gather for regional football matches. Supporters create an energetic setting that shapes the local sports scene.

The venue is easily accessible near central Salmiya and provides ample parking for visitors. It is advisable to arrive early, especially for larger matches, to secure a parking spot and have time before the game begins.

The stadium is named after Thamer Ali Al-Sabah. Its opening match on 5 June 2007 ended 1-1 between Al-Salmiya and Portugal, with Joao Tomas scoring for Portugal and Faraj Laheeb equalising from a free kick.
