Seating Zones Explained
Tribune Principale — CAT 1 (West stand, covered)
The Tribune Principale is the main stand on the west side of the stadium. It is the only covered stand at Stade Adrar — clearly visible in aerial photos by its distinctive roof structure and red premium seating beneath. This is where you'll find:
- VIP and VVIP sections (5,000 premium seats total across 15 loges and 10 salons)
- Media tribune — 288 press seats with multimedia equipment, plus 340 additional cabled positions
- 12 commentary booths open to the stands
- The best central pitch views at the lowest elevation above the athletics track
CAT 1 tickets give you the covered experience with the closest proximity to the halfway line. Use gates P5, P6, P7 for this stand.
Tribune Est — CAT 2 (East stand, open)
The east stand directly faces the Tribune Principale across the pitch. It offers:
- Two tiers of open green seating
- Good central sightlines, slightly elevated above the athletics track
- A more affordable alternative to CAT 1 with a similar lateral view of the pitch
Access via gates P13, P14, P15.
Tribune Nord & Tribune Sud — CAT 3 (Behind goals)
The north and south end stands are the most atmospheric sections — home to Ultras Imazighen, the passionate supporters of Hassania Agadir. The north stand (Tribune Nord) backs onto the training pitch complex, which is visible in aerial photos behind the stadium. The south stand (Tribune Sud) is slightly more open and lower in the bowl.
- Most affordable ticket category
- Best atmosphere for local derbies
- Strong Atlantic breeze at evening matches — bring a light layer
