[1][2] The club was forced to find a different location and its members invaded an abandoned open space to the south of the Hatikva Quarter and built the stadium there.

At first, the field was oriented north-south,[3] but the club was forced to re-orient the stadium to south-north, as a building was built on the pitch's north edge.

[1] In 1959, following Bnei Yehuda's promotion to the top division, the ground was renovated and the pitch was converted to a grass surface.

[4] A more massive renovation took place between 1965 and 1975, forcing the club to host matches in other venues while work was being done.

Currently, the ground is home to Liga Leumit clubs Maccabi Kabilio Jaffa[7] and Hapoel Kfar Shalem.
