March 28 Stadium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
March 28 Stadium (Arabic: ملعب 28 مارس) is a multi-use stadium in Benghazi, Libya. It is currently used mostly for football matches and it also has athletics facilities. The stadium holds 40,000. The stadium is sometimes used by the Libya national football team although it is not as popular a choice as the capital's 11th of June Stadium. The name of the stadium commemorates the day in which British Forces were asked to relinquish their military base rights in Libya and leave the country.
Along with 11th of June Stadium in Tripoli, the 28th of March Stadium hosted many games, including a semi-final, of the 1982 African Cup of Nations held in Libya.
