Abbasiyyin Stadium, Multi-purpose sports stadium in Damascus, Syria
The concrete stadium spans across 105 meters in length and 70 meters in width, featuring permanent seating arrangements for 30,000 spectators.
The stadium opened its doors in 1957 and underwent substantial renovations in 1976 to accommodate the 5th Pan Arab Games with expanded capacity.
Abbasiyyin Stadium marked a significant religious moment when Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass there on May 6, 2001.
The stadium stands on An Nassirah Avenue with multiple transportation options and connects to central Damascus through several main roads.
Since 2013, the structure has remained inactive due to extensive damage from regional conflicts and subsequent military utilization.
