About
Tripoli International Olympic Stadium (Arabic: ملعب طرابلس الأولمبي الدولي) is a multi-purpose stadium located in the El Mina district of Tripoli, Lebanon. The stadium has a seating capacity of 22,400 spectators and is primarily used for football matches and athletics events. It was completed in 1999 as part of Lebanon's wider post-war sports infrastructure development programme.
The stadium was one of the host venues for the 2000 AFC Asian Cup, the first AFC Asian Cup tournament hosted by Lebanon.
Located near the Rachid Karami International Fair, designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, the stadium forms part of the larger sports and development zone on the Mediterranean coast of Tripoli.
