Acre Municipal Stadium
Acre, Israel
The Acre Municipal Stadium opened in 2011, a clean break from the old Napoleon Stadium that stood on the same patch of ground until its western stand was removed for a railway project. The new facility sits in the Northern District.
The stadium replaced a venue that had been in use since 1950, a ground that fell out of favour for professional matches once its western stand disappeared. This newer build came about through a collaboration between the municipality and several bodies, including Israel Railways, which provided compensation for the land. The Toto Winner Organisation also played a part in the funding.
Hapoel Acre call this their home, the club that has occasionally reached the Israeli Premier League and sometimes finds itself back in the Liga Leumit. Local teams Ahi Acre F.C. and Maccabi Ironi Acre F.C. also use the ground, though neither has stepped into the top flight. The inaugural match was a friendly against Maccabi Haifa, which went to a 2–0 win for the visitors, while the first official league fixture saw Hapoel Acre beat Hapoel Be'er Sheva 2–0.
The stands hold 5,000 spectators, and that capacity was reached more than once during Hapoel Acre's time in the Premier League, particularly in the 2012–13 and 2017–18 seasons.
