About

The stadium is located on a four-hectare plot in the western part of Antananarivo, four kilometers from the city center. It seats 20,000 people and includes locker rooms, a gym, and parking for 150 vehicles. It is also the headquarters of the Madagascan Rugby Federation. On 15 December 2012, the stadium was officially opened by the President of Madagascar, Andry Rajoelina, who also laid the cornerstone a few months earlier.
