History
The stadium was built and opened in 1984 and was mainly used by Al-Ittihad as a training ground for friendly matches and youth team games.[2] [3] [4] In 2018, the venue underwent renovations that included replacing the playing surface, reconditioning the soil for natural grass, and covering 90% of the track with artificial grass. Modern numbered seats featuring the club's emblem were also installed, along with essential technical maintenance for the first time since its construction.[5] [6]
In April 2021, Al-Ittihad Club Stadium received the top ranking among Prince Mohammed bin Salman Professional League clubs' stadiums.[7] Since 2022, the stadium has served as Al-Ittihad's women section home stadium.[8]
