History
The stadium was built in 1954 during the French Soudan era and was known as the Ntomikorobougou Stadium, it was later renovated and renamed Stade Bouvier, named after a French missionary priest, Georges Bouvier. After independence, it was given its current name after independence activist, Mamadou Konaté.
In 2009, the stadium was reconstructed with mostly the redevelopment of the west stand and lightings. In 2024, the stadium was once again re-opened after being closed in 2023 for reconstruction purposes.
