Warri Stadium

Warri Stadium is a multi-purpose sports facility located on Cemetery Road in Warri, featuring covered seating areas and modern athletic infrastructure with capacity for 20,000 spectators. The grounds include a football pitch and running tracks designed to accommodate various types of sporting events.

The facility underwent comprehensive renovations in 2009 to meet international standards for the FIFA U-17 World Cup tournament. This major upgrade of the infrastructure was essential to host the competition at the highest level.

The stadium serves as a gathering place for the local community, hosting football matches and regional sports events that draw spectators from across the city. Crowds fill the seating areas to cheer for their teams and share in the excitement of competition.

The facility is centrally located in Warri and easy to reach when attending local events or major international competitions. It helps to check event schedules in advance to plan your visit around matches and tournaments you wish to see.

In 2013, the stadium became the first sports facility in Nigeria to adopt the Timetronics Electronic Distance Measurement system for track events. This technology allowed for precise timing that meets international standards for track and field athletics.
