Kiryat Eliezer Stadium, Football stadium in Haifa, Israel
Kiryat Eliezer Stadium is a football ground in the Kiryat Eliezer neighborhood of Haifa, Israel. It consists of covered and open stands that surround a grass pitch, with a capacity of around 14,000 spectators.
Kiryat Eliezer Stadium opened in 1951 and became the home of Maccabi Haifa. Over the years, it hosted many football matches and was renovated several times before the club moved to a new stadium in 2014.
The name Kiryat Eliezer comes from the surrounding neighborhood, which was established in the 1920s. On match days, fans gather in the stands, and the cheers and songs create a lively mood that spills into the nearby streets.
The stadium is in western Haifa, near the coast, and can be reached by bus or train. Visitors should check the schedule for match days, as the area gets crowded and parking is limited.
The stadium was known for its close proximity to the sea, and on windy days, the salty air could be felt in the stands. Its location near the beach made it one of the few football grounds where fans could walk to the shore after a game.
