YMCA Stadium (Hebrew: אצטדיון ימק"א, Eets-tahd-yon Eem-Kah), was a multi-use stadium in Jerusalem, Israel. To this day the stadium is a legend in the history of Beitar Jerusalem and their fans. It was nicknamed the sandbox after the awful condition of the pitch.

The stadium was built for the use of the YMCA organization and was housed within the confines of the YMCA Jerusalem centre. The stadium was destroyed after the millenium to make way for a 150 unit housing project.
