Kfar Qassem Football Stadium, Municipal stadium in Kafr Qasim, Israel.
Kfar Qassem Football Stadium, also called Abu Khamis Stadium, is a football ground in the western part of Kafr Qasim. As of May 2025 only the concrete skeleton of the western main tribune is rising, planned to hold the VIP and press sections and the broadcast booth; the pitch is enclosed by a concrete fence and serves as a training field.
The stadium occupies the site of Kfar Qassem's football pitch in the town's west, where building work began in 1980. Temporary stands seating about 630 were erected in late 2017, and about 1,000 seats followed in September 2018. Foundation digging for the western tribune started on 27 November 2019, after a March 2019 target slipped; by May 2025 only its frame stood, with completion planned for late 2026.
The local football club FC Kafr Qasim calls this stadium home and competes in Israeli national leagues. The venue serves as a gathering place for the community and draws supporters from across the region.
The stadium is easily accessible with designated parking and separate entrances for both fan groups. Visitors should arrive early to secure good seating and avoid congestion during major matches.
The stadium is nicknamed "Abu Khamis Stadium", and in July 2022 it was reported that a UAE state company would fund its construction under the Abraham Accords and that it would be named Khalifa Stadium; the announcement had no follow-up showing it was carried out.
