Al-Thawra Sports City Stadium (Arabic: مدينة الثورة الرياضية), also known as the Ali Mohsen al-Muraisi Stadium (Arabic: ملعب علي محسن المريسي), is a multi-purpose stadium in San‘a’, Yemen. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium had a capacity of 30,000 people before bombings and it opened in 1986. It is currently the home ground of the Yemen national football team.[1]
During the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen at the Yemen War, the stadium was destroyed by a Saudi Arabian's air strike. In 2016, the stadium suffered bomb damage again.[2]
