Al-Ittihad Club Stadium (Arabic: ملعب نادي الاتحاد), also known as Prince Faisal bin Fahad Stadium, is a football stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.[1]

History

[edit]

The stadium was built and opened in 1984 and was mainly used by Al-Ittihad as a training ground for friendly matches and youth team games.[2][3][4] In 2018, the venue underwent renovations that included replacing the playing surface, reconditioning the soil for natural grass, and covering 90% of the track with artificial grass. Modern numbered seats featuring the club's emblem were also installed, along with essential technical maintenance for the first time since its construction.[5][6]

In April 2021, Al-Ittihad Club Stadium received the top ranking among Prince Mohammed bin Salman Professional League clubs' stadiums.[7] Since 2022, the stadium has served as Al-Ittihad's women section home stadium.[8]
