Laurent Pokou Stadium

Laurent Pokou Stadium, Football stadium in San-Pédro, Ivory Coast

Laurent Pokou Stadium is a football stadium in San-Pédro, southwestern Ivory Coast, about 350 km from Abidjan. It has 20,000 fully covered seats on a rectangular concrete structure with a natural grass pitch, set on over 23 hectares. The site includes ten public access points, four lifts, media and medical rooms, and parking for 2,000 vehicles.

Construction began in September 2018, and Prime Minister Amadou Gon Coulibaly laid the foundation stone on 23 February 2019. The China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation built the stadium, which was inaugurated on 8 September 2023 by Sports Minister Claude Paulin Danho. It was named after Ivorian striker Laurent Pokou, who died in 2016.

The stadium is named after Laurent N'dri Pokou (1947–2016), the Ivorian striker who was long the all-time top scorer of the Africa Cup of Nations. His family attended the inauguration on 8 September 2023, and the ground is also called Stade de San Pédro.

The stadium has 2,000 parking spaces and ten public access points, with separate entrances for press, teams, officials and competition organisers. Four lifts serve the stands, and the site covers more than 23 hectares, so allow time to walk from the car parks to your gate.

The stadium is named after Laurent N'dri Pokou (1947–2016), the Ivorian striker who long held the record as top scorer in Africa Cup of Nations history. Members of his family attended the inauguration on 8 September 2023, and the first official goal there was scored by Ibrahim Sangaré on 9 September 2023 in a 1–0 win over Lesotho.
