Teddy Stadium Undergoes Major Renovation to Improve Playing Surface
Work has commenced on upgrading the playing surface at Jerusalem's Teddy Stadium, a project expected to cost approximately NIS 2 million. The renovation aims to transform the current grass pitch into a hybrid system, incorporating heating lamps to ensure optimal conditions regardless of weather. This upgrade is necessary because the existing turf does not consistently receive adequate sunlight during matches.
In parallel, training fields at Givat Ram and Beit Vagan have been expanded to meet standard dimensions. This expansion is intended to accommodate youth team matches and alleviate pressure on Teddy Stadium.
Both Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Jerusalem were previously informed that they would not be able to open the 2026/27 season at Teddy Stadium due to the planned pitch renovations. The teams are slated to return to playing at the stadium after the international break in the sixth matchday. Hapoel Jerusalem is scheduled to host Maccabi Haifa on October 10th, followed by Beitar Jerusalem facing Maccabi Tel Aviv in the seventh matchday.
