The Stade National El-Hadj Hassan Gouled Aptidon is a multi-use stadium in Djibouti City, Djibouti. It is currently reserved mostly for football matches. The stadium has a capacity of hosting up to 10,000[1] fans. As of April 2007, the Stade has an artificial turf pitch courtesy of FIFA's Win in Africa development programme.

History

The stadium opened on June 26, 1993. It is named after the first President of Djibouti, Hassan Gouled Aptidon. The facility was built with the assistance of Chinese engineers.
