The Maccabiah Stadium (Hebrew: אצטדיון המכביה Itztadion HaMakabiya) was a football stadium on the Yarkon River in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Maccabiah Stadium was built in 1932 for the first Maccabiah Games and was filled to capacity for the opening ceremony.[1] It was used by Maccabi Tel Aviv until 1969, when the team moved to the Bloomfield Stadium.
