The Hammadi Agrebi Olympic Stadium in Radès, located south of Tunis, is the national stadium of Tunisia and one of the most advanced sports venues in Africa. It was officially opened in 2001 to host the Mediterranean Games and is home to a seating capacity of approximately 60,000 spectators. The stadium is the centerpiece of a larger sports complex and serves as the home ground for the Tunisian national football team, as well as the prominent clubs Espérance Sportive de Tunis and Club Africain. Architecturally, it is distinguished by its innovative membrane roof that covers nearly all seating areas, providing excellent acoustics and weather protection. Beyond football, the stadium is fully equipped for international athletics competitions and large-scale cultural performances. In 2020, the venue was renamed to honor Hammadi Agrebi, a legendary figure in Tunisian football history. Its high security standards and modern infrastructure make it a frequent host for prestigious continental events, including CAF Champions League finals. Situated near the Mediterranean coast, it remains a vital symbol of Tunisia's sporting pride.
