Beste tid å besøke
Best in the late afternoon on match day, when the stands fill up and the air carries the roar of vuvuzelas. The league season runs from May to November, so summer evenings offer the strongest atmosphere.
Budsjettips
Tickets for league matches cost a few thousand ariary; for national team matches prices go up and can reach as much as 15,000 ariary. Buy your seats at the club box office two hours early and avoid the scalpers in front of the gates.

Om
Raske fakta: Over 22,000 fans fit in the stands, and at big concerts a standing crowd joins them out on the pitch. The home national football team Baréa plays its matches here, and the stadium also hosts big concerts and political rallies.
Høydepunkter: The south section holds the loudest bunch of fans, who drum and dance nonstop through the whole match. When the home team scores a goal, yellow smoke rises above the stands and the whole arena immediately sings the same chant.
Insidertips
- Wear the red and green colors of the national team, and never wear white, because after the smoke show you will never get it clean again.
- Come an hour early to find a free spot in the west stand with the best view of the game.
- Eat bananas and grilled corn from the street vendors in front of the gates; inside, the selection is small and the prices are doubled.
- Leave the match five minutes before the end, or wait until the end and avoid the crowds under the gates.
