The Netanya Stadium^[2] (Hebrew: אצטדיון נתניה‎; Itztadi'on Netanya) is a multi-use stadium in Netanya. Financing of the stadium came from the sale of the land where the old Sar-Tov Stadium was on before being demolished to be used for a housing project.

The first game was played on November 4, 2012 in front of a sold out crowd as Maccabi Netanya defeated Hapoel Tel Aviv 2-1. Netanya's Achmad Saba'a became the first player to score a goal in the new stadium.^[3]

The stadium hosted the 2012–13 Israel State Cup finals in front of 8,000 people.^[4] A week later the Youth State Cup finals was held in the stadium in front of 4,600 people.^[5]

It was one of four venues for the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, holding three group matches and a semi-final.

Planning

On 30 September 2003 Minister of Internal Affairs, Avraham Poraz, approved the plan to build the stadium in an area called Birkat Hanoun.^[6] The plan was for a 24,000-seat stadium, consisting of four separate stands. The first two stands under construction will be the main east and west grandstands. It will house 36 private boxes, a VIP section and the press areas. This will be followed by construction of the remaining stands, along with training grounds.

Spread out over 163 dunams (16.3 hectares), the entire complex will be connected by train and have a parking lot for around 1,000 cars. the Architects of the stadium are GAB (Goldschmidt Arditty Ben Nayin) Architects one of Israel's leading sport architecture firm based in Jerusalem.^[7] Construction is being managed by the Netanya Development Company, who handled planning of the project for three years before construction.^[8]
