A full-size stadium might be built for Maaraba SC

The management of Maaraba SC has made important steps towards the goal of having a full-size stadium of their own. For the moment, the club only has a smaller (six-a-side) artificial field, which is meant only for mini-football and for the training of junior and youth squads of the club, while the senior team (when it existed) had to play their ”home” games on grounds far from Maaraba.

Maaraba Sports owns a strategic piece of land located next to Maaraba highway and to the current six-a-side field. This land covers about 11 dunams (about 11,000 square meters), of which 8-9 dunams are still undeveloped and available for investment.

The club would like to find an investor for a full-size football field (stadium), an Olympic-size swimming pool, a café and recreational facilities. The project would be implemented through an official investment contract coordinated with the Directorate of Youth and Sports, for a duration that benefits both the investor and the club. During the contract period, the investor would pay an annual fee to Maaraba Sports Club, providing stable income for the club, while the investor benefits from operating and renting out the facilities. Currently, there are no such facilities in Maaraba or in the surrounding areas, which means that the project would be highly profitable.

Such facilities, and mainly the football stadium, would transform the club completely - offering a proper training environment for the players, creating steady income, and allowing Maaraba Sports Club to compete seriously in national championships. This way, the talented youth of Maaraba will have the chance to represent their home town, instead of playing for other clubs. 

In the meantime, the club has updated its crest, which now features yellow and black colours, the name Maaraba FC and the year of its establishment - 2000.

We certainly hope that an investor is found and the project will be implemented as soon as possible, while in the meantime Maaraba SC (or FC) should return to senior football competitions, to have another important reason for the building of a stadium in Maaraba.
