Al Ahed Stadium (Arabic: ملعب نادي العهد الرياضي) is a football field located in the Al-Ouzai area of Bourj el-Barajneh, in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon. The stadium can accommodate about 2,000 spectators,[2] [3] and is owned by Al Ahed FC, which uses it as a training ground.
In 2018, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hezbollah, a Shia political party and militant group based in Lebanon, in a speech of using the Al Ahed Stadium as a missile cluster.[4] Gebran Bassil, the Lebanese Minister of Foreign Affairs, denied the claims.[5] [6]
