Winter Stadium (Hebrew: אצטדיון וינטר Etztadion Vinter) is a multi-purpose stadium in Ramat Gan, Israel. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of Hakoah Amidar Ramat Gan.

History

Work on the stadium began in 1976,[1] as a replacement of Hakoah Ramat Gan's Gali Gil Stadium, which closed in 1974.[2] The stadium's first match was played on 9 July 1981, during the 1981 Maccabiah Games, between the Maccabi teams of Israel and the USA.[3]

The stadium was renovated in 1993,[4] 2000, when plastic seats were placed upon the concrete stands,[5] and 2006, upon the return of Hakoah Amidar to the Israeli football top level.
