June 11 Stadium (Arabic: ملعب 11 حزيران) is a multi-use stadium in Tripoli, Libya and is one of the largest stadiums anywhere in the world. It is used by the Al-lttihad Tripoli. Currently used mostly for football matches, it also has an athletics track. The stadium holds 80,000 people [1], or possibly only 65,000 (reports vary) [2] The stadium is also the main venue used by the Libyan national football team in its FIFA World Cup and African Nations Cup qualifying matches as well as friendlies. The name of the stadium comemorates the day in which American forces were asked to relinquish their military base rights in Libya and leave the country.

Along with 28th of March Stadium in Benghazi, the 11th of June Stadium hosted many games, including the final, of the 1982 African Cup of Nations held in Libya.
