The Algerian province of Biskra has announced the launch of a new football stadium project, to be built on the site of the semi-Olympic pool in the capital city. This move is part of efforts to modernize the region's sports infrastructure and provide a suitable environment for young athletes. The project includes the construction of a new stadium, as well as the renovation of three main sports fields in the municipalities of Biskra, Sidi Okba, and El Kantara.
The Biskra Youth and Sports Directorate has confirmed that these initiatives aim to bring the region's sports facilities up to date and provide an adequate environment for the province's youth. The directorate is also working on various projects across the province's municipalities, including the construction of neighborhood sports fields, swimming pools, and other facilities to support existing structures.
Work is ongoing on the first phase of a project to rehabilitate and improve the facilities of the 18 February sports complex in Biskra. The project involves renovating the football stadium, maintaining and upgrading the facilities, and constructing an athletics track with eight lanes, according to sports standards. The stadium will also be fitted with hybrid grass and a watering system.
The renovation project is expected to restore the sports complex to its former glory and enable it to host various sports competitions. The complex will provide a suitable environment for local athletes, particularly the Khadraa Ziban football team, which has been forced to play its home games at a different stadium due to renovation work.
The Biskra Youth and Sports Directorate has prepared studies for various projects, including the construction of neighborhood sports fields, new swimming pools, and other sports facilities. These projects include a geotechnical study for a multi-purpose sports hall with a capacity of 500 seats and a swimming pool in the capital city.
The new stadium project and renovations to existing sports facilities are part of a broader effort to improve sports infrastructure in Biskra and provide young athletes with modern facilities. The projects are expected to have a positive impact on the region's sports scene and provide opportunities for local athletes to train and compete in suitable conditions.
