Lod Municipal Stadium (Hebrew: אצטדיון עירוני לוד, Itztadion Ironi Lod) is a football stadium in Neot Itzhak neighborhood of Lod, Israel.[1] It is currently the home stadium of Hapoel Bnei Lod.[2]

The stadium was built in the 1960s to accommodate Lod's football clubs of Beitar, Maccabi and Hapoel, but fell into disuse and disrepair after the city's major club closed.[3] In 2010, the city was granted 10 million NIS by The Israeli Sports Betting Council, which was used, in part, to renovate the stadium.[3] The stadium was further renovated ahead of the 2015 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship, in which the stadium is due to host 4 matches.[4]
