Charles Konan Banny Stadium

Charles Konan Banny Stadium, Football stadium in Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast.

Charles Konan Banny Stadium is a 20,000-seat football ground in Yamoussoukro, built on a 24.66-hectare site near the Lycée Scientifique. Its western stand holds most of the amenities, while the other three are set into the natural slope of the site, and a single sweeping roof covers all four, carrying floodlights on the west and two separate masts on the east. The natural pitch, rated the country's second best after Bouaké, is ringed by a synthetic athletics track with jumping and throwing areas.

Construction of the stadium began in October 2018 and was completed in June 2021. Its official inauguration took place in 2022 during a qualifying match.

The stadium is named after Charles Konan Banny, prime minister from December 2005 to April 2007, who died of COVID-19 in France at 78 after evacuation from Ivory Coast. The name was adopted in 2023, replacing Stade de Yamoussoukro.

The stadium lies near the Lycée Scientifique and covers 24.66 hectares. The western stand holds most of the amenities, while the other three are set into the natural slope of the site, so spectators climb to the top before descending to their seats. The concourse holds the catering stands and restrooms, and 200 press seats are reserved in the press tribune.

The stadium was named after Charles Konan Banny, a former Prime Minister of Ivory Coast, whose memory is preserved through the facility's name. This naming connects the sports venue to an important figure in the country's recent history.
