Suez Canal Authority Stadium

The Suez Canal Authority Stadium sits in the eastern part of Ismailia, Egypt, within the Suez Canal Authority Olympic Village. It replaced an older, 10,000-seat facility that had served the city for decades, with construction beginning in 2019 and the new venue opening on September 8, 2022.

The stadium is primarily used by Olympic El Qanah FC, though Ceramica Cleopatra FC has also played matches here. It gained significant attention by hosting several matches during the 2023 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations, including the semi-final between Nigeria and Senegal. A qualifier between Uganda and Tanzania was also held at the venue, though the final of that tournament took place in Cairo.

The design was overseen by the Head Engineer of the Suez Canal Authority, Ahmed Ragab, with electrical and mechanical works carried out by Kortech, a subsidiary of Hassan Allam Holding. The venue includes modern facilities such as VAR rooms and a presidential box. While the original capacity was 10,000, the current capacity is listed as either 21,000 or 22,000 depending on the source. There is no information regarding under-soil heating. The stadium has not hosted any major concerts, remaining focused on its sporting purpose.
