Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, National stadium in Le Plateau, Abidjan, Ivory Coast

The Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium features a green grass pitch of 105 by 68 meters and includes multiple sections with colored seats representing national pride.

Initially named Stade Andre Geo in 1952, the facility received its current name in 1980 to honor the first president of independent Ivory Coast.

The stadium hosted an international concert in 1988 with performances by Sting, Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen, and Youssou N'Dour for Amnesty International.

The venue maintains four dressing rooms, media facilities, treatment areas, and special zones for officials, supporting both sports events and large gatherings.

Following renovations completed in 2023, the stadium capacity decreased to 33,000 seats to meet international standards for the Africa Cup of Nations 2024.
