TheHatikva Neighborhood Stadium (Hebrew:אצטדיון שכונת התקווה,Itztadion Shkhunat HaTikva) is a multi-purpose stadium in theHatikva Quarter ofTel Aviv inIsrael.
The stadium was built in 1951, when theformer stadium ofBnei Yehuda was built over.[1][2] The club was forced to find a different location and its members invaded an abandoned open space to the south of theHatikva Quarter and built the stadium there. At first, the field was oriented north-south,[3] but the club was forced to re-orient the stadium to south-north, as a building was built on the pitch's north edge.[1]
In 1959, following Bnei Yehuda's promotion to the top division, the ground was renovated and the pitch was converted to a grass surface.[4] A more massive renovation took place between 1965 and 1975, forcing the club to host matches in other venues while work was being done.[5] Shortly before 2000, plastic seats were installed in the stadium's five main stands.
Bnei Yehuda moved to play at the biggerBloomfield Stadium in 2004,[6] but their offices remain at the stadium. Between 2006 and 2013, second division clubBeitar Tel Aviv played their home matches at the ground. Currently, the ground is home toLiga Leumit clubsBnei Yehuda Tel Aviv andHapoel Kfar Shalem
