Asyut Petroleum Stadium

Asyut Petroleum Stadium sits in Manfalut, a town in the Asyut Governorate of Egypt, rather than in the city of Asyut itself, despite serving the local Petroleum club. The ground has passed through several names: it began as Asyut University Stadium before becoming Asyut Cement Stadium, and finally settling on Asyut Petroleum Stadium. There is disagreement over its size; most contemporary accounts list the capacity at 16,000, though the 'World of Stadiums' database records 12,000. The playing surface is natural grass.

What distinguishes this venue is not its architecture, but its role as a regional hub. It is used for Asyut National Day celebrations on April 18 and has hosted youth scouting trials for major Cairo clubs like Al Ahly SC. Its most notable political moment came in November 2012, when then-President Mohamed Morsi’s plane landed in the region. The club has faced ongoing controversies regarding the stadium's lack of lighting and the approval of VAR technology for Premier League matches.

The construction history is absent from available records; Wikipedia articles for the club and the stadium are marked as stubs. No official website for the club or stadium was found, and the specific street address is unavailable. While Asyut Petroleum SC is based in the larger Asyut city, their matches are played here in Manfalut.
