Cheraga Olympic Stadium
The construction of the July 5 stadium, located in the commune of Chéraga, marks Algeria's first major achievement in terms of sports infrastructure. Concerned about the development of youth, one of the great riches of Algeria, the State has carried out and continues to carry out several actions to offer them the instruments capable of allowing them to exploit their immense capacities, among them the construction of Olympic complexes and sports infrastructures across the national territory.
This very beautiful stadium, with a capacity of 70,000 seats, including 20,000 covered, is the first work delivered as part of a vast and ambitious project to build a large Olympic city included under the first quadrennial plan (1970-1973), a milestone in the process of generalization of the practice of mass sport.
It is also an encouragement in favor of elite sport which should allow the improvement of performances and a qualitative representation of Algerian athletes on an international scale. The inauguration of the Chéraga Olympic stadium, whose pitch is covered with a revolutionary artificial turf called tartan and whose use is a first in the world, will take place on the occasion of an international tournament in which a selection from the Maghreb, the teams of Palmeiras (Brazil), Rapid Budapest (Hungary) and Inter Milan (Italy) will take part.
The inaugural match will pit the North African selection, which includes several Algerian players, and the Budapest Rapid.
