Ouezzin-Coulibaly Stadium

About

The Ouezzin Coulibaly Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located in Bamako, Mali. Originally named Stade Frédéric Assomption when it was built during the colonial period, it was renamed after the independence of Mali in 1960 in honour of Ouezzin Coulibaly, a prominent independence activist from Upper Volta (present-day Burkina Faso).
