The Dakhla stadium is intended to have a recognizable image of this dominant city, posed on the edge of the sea. Its design and its shape offer ideal conditions for sporting events and ensure a perfect experience for the spectators. The arena forms a unified rounded dome, giving the impression of a single closed object. The skin of the dome seen from a distance gives the impression of a fragile stretched perforated textile pulled over the skeleton of the stadium.

The visitor approaching from afar realizes that these perforations form the names of the 350,000 Moroccan volunteers coming from all regions of the Kingdom, who participated on November 6 1975, in the green march following the appeal launched by the late SM Hassan II and converged, in all serenity, towards Tarfaya in a true illustration of the perfect symbiosis between a militant King and a brave people, which allowed the liberation of the southern provinces and the reintegration by our Sahrawi compatriots of the mother country.

The exterior design is inspired by the largest Moroccan flag in the world made on “Al Montazah” square in the centre of the city of Dakhla, made in memory of the 350,000 volunteers who took part in the glorious Green March. Indeed, the organization of accesses, parking lots and external traffic is based on the flag’s five-pointed star.
