Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet

Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet is a multi-purpose stadium in Monastir with a capacity of 20,000 spectators and features grandstands with cantilevered structures. The facility includes various seating sections such as official seats, press areas, and VIP sections for different types of visitors.

The stadium was designed in 1958 by architect Olivier-Clément Cacoub and originally built with 3,000 seats. It was later expanded to 20,000 capacity for the 2004 African Cup of Nations tournament.

The venue is named after Mustapha Ben Jannet, a Tunisian nationalist who organized local football players before being executed by French forces. His name reflects the country's struggle for independence during colonial times.

The venue sits within a large sports complex on the outskirts of Monastir with various recreational facilities throughout the grounds. Visitors should plan enough time to explore the entire area and discover all the available amenities.

The stadium is part of an 11-hectare sports complex that houses tennis courts, training fields, and an indoor swimming pool alongside the main venue. This multi-purpose facility makes it a complete sports destination beyond just football.
