On Sunday, April 26, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the huge project of building an advanced municipal football stadium. The ceremony was attended by Mayor Haim Bibas, Deputies Or Greenfeld, Amiad Taub, Shlomo Passi and Elad Shimonovitz, who also serves as the sports portfolio holder, City Council members Shimon Gueta, Gilad Bihari, Itay Bar Almog and Ran Segev, representatives of the Modi’in Municipal Administration, Modi’in Municipal Coach Erez Benudis and the club's founder, David Ben Shimol, as well as representatives of the municipality and the Modi’in Economic Development Company.
The move, led by Mayor Haim Bibas, comes after professional research included field tests, learning from processes in other cities, promoting transportation and planning solutions that will serve the stadium and the general public.
The project is underway in the Einav Center, in a strategic location that offers excellent transportation accessibility thanks to the nearby Pata’ey Modi'in train station and a parking lot with approximately 750 spaces. The stadium will hold approximately 6,000 seats, and will meet all the standards and requirements of the Israel Football Association for holding games in the national league and later also in the Premier League. The facility will also be used for large cultural events.
The total cost of building the stadium, including development work, is estimated at approximately 150 million shekels..
Alongside the stadium, a new multi-purpose sports hall will also be built, with approximately 2,600 seats, which will host basketball, handball and other cultural events, a move that will strengthen Modi'in Maccabim Reut's status as a significant regional sports center.
