The multi-purpose Al-Jalaa Stadium features an artificial turf field measuring 105 by 67 meters and holds 12,000 spectators for football matches and events.
The stadium opened its doors in 1976 as a central venue for the 5th Pan Arab Games, marking a significant development in Syrian sports infrastructure.
