Afula Illit Stadium
Afula, Israel
Formerly: Afula Municipal Stadium, Afula Stadium
The Afula Illit Stadium opened in April 2009 to replace the old municipal ground closed by flooding. The catchment is small, the capacity 3,000 , and the whole place enclosed by green fencing with tall floodlight masts standing at either end.
It is the home of Hapoel Afula, but its calendar is not defined by league football alone. Cup matches draw the crowd most reliably: the quarter-final in the 2019–20 State Cup between Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona brought the full house, as did the Super Cup final that followed in 2019. The Toto Cup also holds its group stage games here, though the attendance never approaches the town's population.
The pitch is natural grass, maintained under the floodlights. There is no separate website for the venue; information sits on the Afula Municipality's official site . The stadium has not hosted any finals or international fixtures, and no single attendance figure has been recorded as a permanent record. It is a functional ground in a dry landscape, bright from a distance because of the coloured seats.
