Lekan Salami Stadium, Sports stadium in Ibadan, Nigeria
The Lekan Salami Stadium contains a grass field, tennis courts, squash facilities, and an indoor sports hall within its 130,000-square-meter grounds.
The stadium emerged from a former race course in 1988 through the efforts of David Jemibewon administration, which transformed unused land into a sports complex.
Local teams, including the Shooting Stars Football Club, regularly compete at the stadium, drawing numerous spectators from across the Oyo State region.
The stadium provides seating for 18,000 visitors and maintains a dedicated information line at +234 803 430 8577 for event schedules and ticket purchases.
In 2021, the facility received extensive renovations that included installation of natural grass meeting FIFA standards and modern technological upgrades.
