Located in the Israeli city of
Sakhnin, Doha Stadium was built with public funds largely from the
State of Israel and the
Qatar National Olympic Committee, and was named after the Qatari capital,
Doha. The decision by the Qataris to build the stadium in Israel came after a meeting between the
Knesset member
Ahmad Tibi and Secretary-General of the Qatar National Olympic Committee Sheikh
Saud Abdulrahman Al Thani after Tibi expressed his concern on the conditions for sport in Sakhnin. The involvement of Qatar was to show that relations between the two nations are peaceful and with a similar interest. In July 2009, the north stand was opened with an additional 3,500 seats. There are plans to expand the stadium's capacity to 15,000. In August 2024, Doha has undergone Renovations, and the owners,
Bnei Sakhnin had to move to
Acre Municipal Stadium Until renovations were finished In March 2025, the Doha Renovations were finished, and on the 29th of March, 2025,
Bnei Sakhnin won 2-1 against
