The Tripoli International Stadium (Arabic: ملعب طرابلس) is a multi-purpose stadium in Tripoli, Libya. It can hold 45,000 spectators.
It is the main venue used by the Libyan national football team in its FIFA World Cup and African Nations Cup qualifying matches as well as friendlies and other international games.
The stadium hosted many games of the 1982 African Cup of Nations held in Libya along with the 28 March Stadium in Benghazi; it was the venue for the final between Ghana and Libya. It hosted the 2002 Italian Supercup between Juventus and Parma, which Juventus won, 2–1.
Its old name (June 11 Stadium) is a reference to the date of the withdrawal of US forces from Libya, June 11, 1970.
The stadium recently underwent a renovation that was completed on the 8th of March 2024. The renovated stadium reopened with a match between AC Milan All-Stars and Libya All-Stars, which took place in front of more than 45,000 spectators.
