The Thomas D'Alesandro Stadium, more commonly known as Kiryat Haim, is a multi-use stadium in Kiryat Haim, Israel. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of Hapoel Haifa's youth teams. It used to be home to the first teams of Hapoel as well as Maccabi Haifa, but was replaced by Kiryat Eliezer Stadium in 1955.
The stadium was built with help from the Baltimore Histadrut Campaign and as a result was named after then mayor of Baltimore, Thomas D'Alesandro. Historically, the stadium is a symbol of Hapoel Haifa and holds special value to its fans regardless of its decrepit state.
