History

Inaugurated in 1958, the stadium initially had a capacity of 3,000. Designed by architect Olivier-Clément Cacoub, the structure used a technique based on cantilevered ball joints to create suspended tiers.

Over time, several expansion works were carried out, increasing its capacity to more than 10,000 in the late 1990s, and then, with further work ahead of the 2004 African Cup of Nations, to 20,000.
