Benghazi International Stadium

About

Benghazi International Stadium (Arabic: ملعب بنغازي الدولي) is a multi-purpose stadium in Benghazi, Libya, also known as Sports City Stadium. It is a part of Benghazi Sports City, used mostly for football matches and also has athletics facilities. The stadium holds 42,000 spectators. It is sometimes used by the Libya national football team, although it is not as popular as a football stadium as the Tripoli Stadium.

Its old name of the stadium commemorates 28 March, when British forces were asked to relinquish their military base rights in Libya and leave the country.

Along with then-called June 11 Stadium, the 28 March Stadium hosted many games, including a semi-final, of the 1982 African Cup of Nations, held in Libya.
