When we look at Bandar Sheikh Stadium in the capital, Aden, we find ourselves in front of a history filled with the splendor and excellence of the sport. This stadium is considered one of the symbols of rugby football in the Middle East and the Horn of Africa, as it received the first kicks that were given the name “Foot Ball.” By the Americans.

Rugby football, which the Americans call "Foot Ball", is part of their sporting heritage, and on this field, their ideas emerged and were transmitted to their colonies, where they transferred this game.

Bandar Sheikh Stadium in Aden Minor is considered one of the largest stadiums in the entire Arabian Peninsula, as regular football had not been witnessed until then.

In the same location, there are two football fields, and next to them is the social hall for celebrations, and on the upper deck to the right, the Refinery Club (BP Club) for senior employees of the British Oil Company is highlighted, with a swimming pool and various recreational facilities, from billiards and tennis to a cinema screen. In addition to a children's play park.

This photo dates back to 1958 AD, where the history and heritage of this stadium is evident with pride and brilliance.
