Haberfeld Stadium

Haberfeld Stadium was built in 1993 in the eastern part of Rishon LeZion.[1] It takes its name from Haim Haberfeld, who served as secretary-general of the Histadrut and as chairman of the Israel Football Association.[1] The stadium is colloquially referred to as the "Superland" stadium, a nickname derived from its proximity to the Superland amusement park.[1]

The ground has a reported capacity of approximately 5,000 seats and serves as the home of Hapoel Rishon LeZion.[2]

On December 31, 2011, the stadium hosted a Premier League fixture between Hapoel Rishon LeZion and Maccabi Haifa in the league's 19th round.[3] The match proved historic for the home side: Hapoel Rishon LeZion won 4–2, ending a run of 16 consecutive league rounds without a victory.[3] The teams were coached by Nissan Yehezkel and Elisha Levy, respectively.[3]

The game produced a remarkable opening spell, with five goals scored in the first 26 minutes.[3] Hapoel Rishon LeZion came back from a 2–0 deficit, with David Gomez netting twice to give the home side a 3–2 lead.[3] Assaf Cohen then added a fourth goal in stoppage time to seal the 4–2 result.[3]

The stadium has also hosted fixtures for other clubs, including a 2012 Liga Alef South derby between Hapoel Marmorek and Maccabi Sha'arayim that drew approximately 4,000 spectators.[4] Hanan Fadida headed in a free kick in the 90th minute to give Marmorek a 1–0 victory.[4]

For the 2026/27 youth season, Haberfeld Stadium was listed as Hapoel Rishon LeZion's home ground.[5] The season's opening-round schedule placed the club's youth match against Hapoel Haifa at the stadium on August 15, 2026.[5]

Plans to significantly upgrade Haberfeld Stadium have been discussed for several years, though the project has undergone repeated revisions. A 2023 proposal promoted by the municipality envisioned an investment of approximately NIS 180 million, targeting a capacity of 10,000 seats through the addition of north and south stands, a roof encircling the stadium, refurbishment of existing east and west stands, and new facilities including broadcast and press rooms, viewing suites, concessions, and public amenities — all intended to meet FIFA and UEFA standards.[2]

A February 2026 report outlined a revised plan to renovate the existing structure rather than build anew, with revised cost estimates of NIS 130 million and the same 10,000-seat target, though no completion date had been set.[1] Mayor Raz Kinstlich had initially planned to begin renovation work before the outbreak of the Israel–Hamas war, but the escalation led the municipality to redirect NIS 120 million originally earmarked for the stadium project toward protective measures for schools and kindergartens.[1] Kinstlich said, “If we get promoted, we’ll prioritize and expedite this.”[1]

In September 2025, the mayor of Rishon LeZion expressed an ambition to establish Israel's next national stadium in the city.[6] Israel Football Association chairman Shino Zoertz described the proposal as a good option while noting that a government decision was needed before concrete steps could be taken.[6] Haberfeld Stadium was also allocated for training outstanding young players through the association's Rishon LeZion development center.[6]
