The stadium has a capacity of 11,500 spectators with the possibility of further building the north and south stands for 8500 spectators and increasing the total number of seats to 20,000. As part of a large sports park in the new industrial zone of the city, the complex can also include a multi-purpose arena for 3,000 seats and training artificial turf fields. The stadium budget amounted to 25 million US dollars [2] [3] .
The designer of the new stadium was GAB (Goldshmidt Arditty Ben Nayim) Architects , one of the leading Israeli sports architecture firms, which also drafted the new Netanya and Haberfeld stadiums.
The stadium was opened on December 6, 2011 after almost two years of construction [4] . He was one of the venues for the youth Euro 2013 , having accepted three group stage matches and a semifinal.
Finding a name for the stadium was controversial for Petah Tikva - some locals wanted it to be called Rosh HaZahav ( Rosh HaZahav , Golden Head) in honor of former local Hapoel player and Israeli team Naum Stelmakh . After the refusal of the city administration, it was named "Ha-Moshava", in honor of the nickname Petah Tikva - "Em ha-Moshavot" (Mother of the settlements).
In early 2014, the stadium became the venue for the 2014 United Super Bowl - a friendly tournament in which champions and vice-champions of Russia and Ukraine took part [5] .
