Stade Olympique

The Stade Olympique is a sports complex in Nouakchott with a grass field at its center, surrounded by an athletics track and concrete seating areas. The venue holds around 20,000 spectators and is designed to host both football matches and track and field events.

Construction of this sports facility began in January 1980 and was officially opened on July 14, 1983. The project represented a significant milestone in developing the country's sporting infrastructure and traditions.

The stadium serves as the gathering place where football fans come together for national team matches and major domestic league games. The stands fill with spectators who experience the sport side by side and support their teams.

The stadium is located in the Tevragh-Zeina district and has ample parking spaces and multiple entry gates to manage visitor flow. Arriving early helps avoid long queues at the entrances.

The facility is the largest sports complex in the country and serves dual purposes beyond football, hosting national track and field competitions. This makes it a versatile venue where different sporting disciplines take place under open skies.
