Tripoli Municipal Stadium
Tripoli Municipal Stadium, also known as the Rashid Karami Municipal Stadium , is a 10,000 capacity multi-use stadium in Tripoli, Lebanon. Located near the city center, it is the home ground of AC Tripoli.
History
The stadium was inaugurated on 29 May 1960. It was rehabilitated to welcome Pan Arabic competitions, as well as Asian and International ones. The stadium remained operating with natural grass thanks to the efforts and dedication of Ahmad As-Sabbagh Abu Hilmi, former goalkeeper and employee of the Tripoli municipality, setting it apart from other Lebanese stadiums, especially those with natural grass that stopped hosting sporting activities due to lack of maintenance.
