General Lansana Conté Stadium

General Lansana Conté Stadium, National stadium in Conakry, Guinea.

General Lansana Conté Stadium is a 50,000-seat venue in the Nongo district of Lambanyi, western Conakry. It has a 4,400-metre athletics track, a training pitch and an outdoor car park for 536 vehicles. Built by Shanghai Construction with Chinese funding, it hosts football and athletics and can also stage concerts.

Construction was planned from 2007 and finished in 2011, but the stadium was only inaugurated on 24 November 2019 by Prime Minister Kassory Fofana, at the opening match of the UFOA under-20 tournament between Guinea and Mauritania, which Guinea won 2-0. The naming after General Lansana Conté, who died in December 2008, was announced in that inauguration speech. A 2017 contract with Guinea Business Marketing allowed the works to be completed, and CAF homologation came on 26 December 2020.

The stadium was named at its 24 November 2019 inauguration after General Lansana Conté, Guinea's second president, who died in December 2008; the opening match of the UFOA under-20 tournament saw Guinea beat Mauritania 2-0, with Algassimou Bah scoring the ground's first goal. It also hosted concerts, including Black M before 60,000 people on 13 February 2016.

The venue sits in the Nongo area and is accessible by local transport from different neighborhoods across the city. Arriving early helps you secure good seating and time to walk around the grounds before events begin.

The stadium was built by the Chinese company Shanghai Construction and fully financed by the People's Republic of China. Its first official goal was scored by Algassimou Bah when Guinea beat Mauritania 2-0 at the UFOA under-20 opening match on 24 November 2019.
