Lod Municipal Stadium (Hebrew: אצטדיון עירוני לוד, Itztadion Ironi Lod) is a football stadium in Neot Itzhak neighborhood of Lod, Israel.[1] It is currently the home stadium of Hapoel Bnei Lod.[2]
The stadium was built in the 1960s to accommodate Lod's football clubs of Beitar, and Hapoel, but fell into disuse and disrepair after the city's major club closed.[3] In 2010, the city was granted 10 million NIS by The , which was used, in part, to renovate the stadium.[3] The stadium was further renovated ahead of the 2015 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship, in which the stadium hosted 4 matches.[4]
Adjacent to the stadium are three pitches, including a synthetic pitch, used by the city's minor teams, Hapoel Lod (which also host matches in the main stadium) and F.C. Tzeirei Lod.
