Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Sports stadium in Benin City, Nigeria.
Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium is a sports facility in Benin City with FIFA-approved artificial turf and a capacity for 20,000 spectators. The grounds feature running tracks around the field and provide comprehensive infrastructure for various sporting events.
The stadium was established in 1985 and was originally known as Ogbe Stadium. It was renamed to honor Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia, a two-time governor who invested in sports infrastructure in the region.
The stadium serves as the home ground for Bendel Insurance FC and Edo Queens FC. It brings together local football fans and hosts regular competitions that shape the city's sporting life.
The venue is located on Stadium Road off Ogbe Road and is easily accessible by car with parking available. Visitors should plan to arrive in the morning or early afternoon when the facility is open for public activities.
Following extensive renovations in 2018, the facility received a modern drainage system designed to prevent flooding during events. These improvements made it a weather-resilient venue for reliable event execution.
