Ri'ayet al-Shabab Stadium

Ri'ayet al-Shabab Stadium is a sports facility in Aleppo's Sulaimaniyah district with a grass field measuring 103 by 67 meters. The venue holds around 10,000 spectators and is managed by the Ministry of Education for local sports events.

The facility was built and opened to the public in 1965 as a sporting venue for the city. It has endured through various periods of change and continues to host matches and local sports activities.

This facility serves as the home ground for Al-Ittihad football club and hosts matches from Syria's top leagues. It has long been a gathering place for local supporters who come to watch their team play.

The stadium is located in the Sulaimaniyah neighborhood and is accessible to those visiting this part of the city. Visitors should check ahead about scheduled matches or events before planning their visit.

During the Syrian conflict, this venue maintained operations when other sports facilities in the city were damaged or unusable. Its location in the relatively secure Sulaimaniyah area enabled this continuity.
