Stadium
Making progress – The Be'er Sheva stadium named after Yaakov Turner
 
The Wassermiel stadium first opened in 1959. As Hapoel Be'er Sheva's popularity grew and the stands continued to fill, the city's residents and the fans of the team began their cry for a new stadium
 
In 2011, the mayor of Be'er Sheva, Mr. Rubik Danilovich, laid the foundation for a project that had been widely discussed -  the building of a new and modern football stadium to serve as the home of the city's football teams, especially Hapoel Be'er Sheva.
 
The stadium has 16,000 seats, and meets the strict standards of UEFA and FIFA.
 
Most of the funding for the project, which totaled approximately 200 million NIS, was provided by Toto, the national sports lottery that invests in sport infrastructure. It was for this reason the stadium was named The Toto Stadium in Be'er Sheva 
 
The local government wanted to include the culture of Be'er Sheva in the stadium and therefore decided to add the name of the former mayor, Mr. Yaakov Terner to the name of the stadium. This made the name of the stadium the Toto Stadium in Be'er Sheva named after Yaakov Turner, a former IDF brigadier general, the 10th commissioner of the Israeli Police, and former mayor of Beer Sheva.
 
 
The stadium is located in the northern part of Be'er Sheva, next to the Nahal Ashan neighborhood, and is part of the Be'er Sheva
Sports Complex.
 
The complex consists of five training fields, the multi-sports center known as "The Concia" (shell), which can seat over 3000 people and has a swimming pool. The center also has the Association House which is used for offices in Be'er Sheva.
 
The stadium’s construction was completed in time for the opening of the 2015/2016 season. The opening match saw Hapoel Be'er Sheva host Maccabi Haifa in a game that ended in a draw at 0-0.The first goal in the stadium was later scored by Tony Nwakaeme against Maccabi Petah Tikva FC. Hapoel Beer Sheva continued to set a league record with an astounding 36 consecutive home games without a loss (28 victories, 8 draws) spanning over two seasons.
