Stadium
King Abdullah II Stadium
Amman, Jordan
The King Abdullah II Stadium sits in the Al-Quwaysimah district of Amman.
The stadium opened in 1998, though some sources contest the exact date, pinning it to 1999 instead. It serves as the home ground for Al-Wehdat SC, a club founded in 1956, and hosts the Jordan national football team. The capacity is listed as 13,265 seats, a figure confirmed by FIFA archives for the 2016 U-17 Women's World Cup. During the finals of the 2010 West Asian Football Federation (WAFF) Championship, the highest recorded attendance reached 18,000, suggesting temporary standing arrangements beyond the permanent seating.
A major renovation project costing 6 million Jordanian dinars was completed in late 2023 to meet international standards for AFC and FIFA qualifiers. This work involved rehabilitating the stadium and the nearby Khirbet Al-Sakha training field, closing the ground for over two years. The playing surface is natural grass. There are no former names for the King Abdullah II Stadium; it was named after King Abdullah II upon opening.
The King Abdullah II Stadium is defined by its intense floodlights in the Al-Quwaysimah district of Amman. It opened in 1998 as the home of Al-Wehdat SC. The capacity stands at 13,265, though crowds during the 2010 WAFF Championship exceeded this. A recent renovation costing 6 million Jordanian dinars brought the pitch up to international standards.
