Stadium

Characteristics

The stadium has been inspired by the San Nicola Stadium in Bari, built in 1990, which was designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano.

Construction

Stadium under construction

On 20 December 2006 planned the project of construction of the Olympic Complex. The stadium was planned for a capacity of 75,000 seats but was reduced to 40.000. On 5 December 2011 the minister of Youth and Sports, El Hachemi Djiar, announced that the stadium would be completed before the end of 2012. He also added that the entire project would be finished in 2015. But due to delays in construction work, the complex was finished in 2019.

Name of the stadium

In 2014, M. Mohamed Raouraoua president of the Algerian Football Federation suggested that the stadium can take the name of the former legendary footballer of MC Oran and of the national team Abdelkader Fréha. Some other names were suggested like the other former legendary footballer Miloud Hadefi. Finally he kept the name of Olympic Stadium of Oran but it's called Miloud Hadefi Stadium.

Name of the olympic complex

At the beginning of June 2022, the olympic complex was named Benhaddou Bouhadjar aka Colonel Othmane Olympic Complex. But on 23 June 2022, the complex was inaugurated and renamed by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune in the name of the former international footballer and of MC Oran, Miloud Hadefi and therefore became the Miloud Hadefi Olympic Complex.
