Stadium
Main article: Stadion Solila

FK Igalo plays their home games at Stadion Solila. Until the middle of the nineties, football ground in Igalo was among amateur-pitches like neighbouring Stadion Opačica or Stadion Bijela. But, with FK Igalo promotion to the Second Yugoslav League, on old ground location was built new stadium with one terrace and numerous pitches around the main ground.
During the winter months, because of good climate and accommodation, the stadium is used for exhibition matches, tournaments, trainings and preparations of many football teams from the region (Montenegro, Serbia, North Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia).
