Stade Aline Sitoe Diatta is a multi-use
Casa Sport. The stadium holds 10,000 people, and was built to host the 1992 African Cup of Nations
.
Located in the northern part of the city of Ziguinchor, it has been plagued by its poor pitch, because the stadium was built on what used to be a rice field, rendering it unusable during the rainy season. However, recent efforts by local authorities to change the pitch into a synthetic turf were successful.[1]
During the group stage times, the first leg of the 2009 Ligue 1 finals took place with its first match at the stadium, the club ended in a scoreless draw with ASC Linguère.
The first continental competition featuring Casa Sport was held at the stadium was the
1980. The only continental cup competition held was in 2012 with a match. The second and last continental championship was the 2013 CAF Champions League
with two matches.
The 25th year of the completion of the stadium will be celebrated.
