The opening as it read in 2010
Vasermil Municipal Stadium , commonly known as the Vasermil Stadium , is a football stadium in Beersheba , Israel .1The stadium is designed as an open bowl (though a small part of one side has cover), and formerly had a running track, though this has now been bricked over.2The stadium is all-seated, and the capacity is 13,000.3It is the home stadium of Hapoel Be'er Sheva . During the 2005–06 season, it was also the home ground of Maccabi Be'er Sheva who had been promoted to Liga Leumit at the end of the previous season and were not allowed to play matches at their home ground due to its small capacity. After their relegation back to Liga Artzit , Maccabi returned to their home ground. The stadium has hosted European football, as Hapoel played in the UEFA Cup in 1994–95 and 1995–96 and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1997–98. By far the most illustrious visitors were Barcelona , who left the Vasermil Stadium with a 7–0 victory.4
