Fouad Chehab Stadium (Template:Langx), also known as Jounieh Municipal Stadium (Template:Langx), is a multi-use stadium in Jounieh, Lebanon. It is currently used mostly for football matches, and has a capacity of 5,000.[1][2]

In 1959, president Fouad Chehab commissioned the French architect Michel Écochard to develop a plan for the stadium.[3] In 1964, the construction of the Jounieh Municipal Stadium was completed, surrounded by an Olympic-sized track and a covered grandstand with a capacity of 7,500 spectators.[3] The complex also includes a basketball and volleyball hall, with two stands that can accommodate 2,000 seated and 3,500 standing spectators.[3] In 1994, at the initiative of minister Template:Ill, the stadium was renamed Fouad Chebab Stadium in honor of the late president.[3]
