The Maccabiah Stadium (Hebrew: אצטדיון המכביה) (Itztadion Hamakabiya) is a football stadium on the Yarkon River in Tel Aviv, Israel. It was built in 1932 for the first Maccabiah Games and was filled to capacity for the opening ceremony.[1] It was used by Maccabi Tel Aviv until 1968, when the team moved to Bloomfield Stadium

Today it is located on the grounds of the Israel Trade Fairs & Convention Center and used as a training field for youth football teams.
