Stade d'Angondjé

This football stadium in Libreville accommodates approximately 40,000 spectators and features a natural grass playing surface, modern floodlights, and electronic scoreboards designed to meet international standards for professional football matches.

The stadium opened officially on November 10, 2011, with an inaugural friendly match between Gabon and Brazil that ended with a 2-0 victory for Brazil, marking the beginning of its role as a significant sports venue.

The stadium hosted the final match of both the 2012 and 2017 Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, establishing its importance in African football and demonstrating Gabon's capacity to organize major continental sporting events.

Construction was completed in approximately 22 months by Shanghai Construction Group through a partnership between the Gabonese and Chinese governments, with China funding the stadium while Gabon developed supporting infrastructure including roads and utilities.

A large arch spanning 1,050 feet (320 meters) extends over the main stand, representing the longest such structure in Africa and symbolizing the diplomatic bridge between China and Gabon through its architectural design.
