Thomas D'Alesandro Stadium, Sports stadium in Kiryat Haim, Israel
Thomas D'Alesandro Stadium is a sports venue in Kiryat Haim with a concrete western stand and grass terraces surrounding the field, built to host football matches and community events. The facility has capacity for around 1,000 spectators and includes updated locker room facilities.
The facility opened in 1958 and served as the home of Hapoel Haifa football club for many years before the team relocated in 1991. Following this change, it transformed into a community venue for local teams.
Local football teams and youth groups use the venue for training and matches, shaping how the neighborhood engages with sports. It serves as a gathering place where young athletes and families come together.
The stadium is easily accessible on foot with straightforward access to the field and viewing areas for visitors of all abilities. There is ample outdoor space to walk around and relax before or after events.
The stadium is named after a Baltimore mayor who visited Haifa's workers council in the early 1960s, creating an unusual international connection between two distant cities. This naming choice reflects a friendship that might surprise many visitors today.
