Sammy Ofer Stadium, also known as Haifa International Stadium, is a 30,820-seat [1] multi-purpose stadium in Haifa, Israel, that began construction in late 2009. Construction was completed in 2014 and the stadium is currently in use mostly for football matches and host the home matches of Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Haifa F.C.. It will replace their current Kiryat Eliezer Stadium. The stadium is named after naval-mogul Sammy Ofer, who donated $20,000,000 to build the stadium and name it after himself. Ofer's contribution is 19% of the cost of the stadium and naming it after him was one of his conditions. The Sammy Ofer Stadium is developed and built by the Haifa Economic corporation managed by Adv.
