  • Tunisia’s largest stadiums fuel sports tourism, jobs, and national pride.
  • Arenas host AFCON, CAF finals, and international football matches.
  • Stadium investments strengthen Tunisia’s bid for global sports influence.

Tunisia’s largest stadiums are more than just football grounds—they are national landmarks fueling sports tourism, economic activity, and cultural pride.

As North Africa cements its reputation as a rising hub for global football, these arenas stand at the center of Tunisia’s ambitions to host international tournaments and expand its sporting influence.

From the Hammadi Agrebi Olympic Stadium in Radès—Tunisia’s most iconic football venue—to the historic El Menzah Stadium currently under renovation, the country’s investment in world-class infrastructure reflects a decades-long commitment to the game.

These stadiums not only stage marquee fixtures for clubs like Espérance de Tunis, Club Africain, and Étoile du Sahel, but also generate local jobs, tourism revenue, and international exposure.

With capacities ranging from 11,000 to more than 60,000, Tunisia’s biggest stadiums serve as crucial anchors for African football.

They have hosted Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) matches, CAF Champions League finals, and international friendlies, while doubling as multipurpose venues for athletics and community events.

As the nation positions itself for a larger role in global sports, these stadiums remain central to Tunisia’s identity as a footballing powerhouse in the region.

Here’s a look at the 10 largest stadiums in Tunisia by seating capacity, compiled by Shore.Africa:

Hammadi Agrebi Olympic Stadium (Radès) — 60,000–65,000

Tunisia’s national showpiece and flagship stadium, Radès is the primary venue for CAF competitions, national team matches, and blockbusters featuring Espérance de Tunis and Club Africain. 

Equipped with broadcast-ready facilities and modern access routes, the stadium is Tunisia’s go-to mega-arena. While officially listed at 60,000, some reports still cite a 65,000 capacity.
