Lekan Salami Stadium, Sports stadium in Ibadan, Nigeria

Lekan Salami Stadium is a sports complex in Ibadan featuring a grass pitch, tennis courts, squash facilities, and an indoor sports hall spread across spacious grounds. Multiple sports can be played in different areas throughout the facility.

This facility took shape in 1988 when a former horse racing venue was transformed into a modern sports complex. The change marked an effort to provide the city with proper sporting facilities.

The Shooting Stars Football Club calls this place home, with matches drawing crowds from across the region. Fans gather here with their own traditions and ways of supporting their team.

The stadium seats around 18,000 spectators and is easy to navigate once you arrive. You can call ahead to find out what events are happening and get details about visiting.

In 2021 the grounds received major upgrades including natural grass that meets international football standards. These improvements brought the facility up to standards expected at top-level matches.
