1 November 1954 Stadium (Tizi Ouzou)

History

Construction

After the JS Kabylie team began using the "Ramadan Oukil Stadium," which has a capacity of only 5,000 seats, starting in 1946 during the French occupation of Algeria, it became necessary, after Algeria's independence in 1962, to construct a larger football stadium in the city of Tizi Ouzou to host football matches in the country.

The team continued to use the "Ramadan Oukil Stadium" until 1978, when the construction of the November 1, 1954 Stadium in Tizi Ouzou was completed and inaugurated on March 12, 1978.

Occasionally, the JS Kabylie team would relocate to the Djilali Bounâama Stadium in the city of Boumerdes, located 40 kilometers west of Tizi Ouzou, to conduct its training sessions and matches during periods of penalties or when the November 1, 1954 Stadium in Tizi Ouzou was closed for maintenance and renovations.

Renovation

The stadium underwent a renovation project in 2007, during which its pitch was resurfaced with fourth-generation artificial turf. In parallel, two of the players' changing rooms were refurbished.

Etymology

The stadium was named "November 1, 1954" in 1978, in commemoration of the November 1, 1954, Declaration, which marked the outbreak of the Algerian War of Independence.

During the period between November 1, 1954, and July 5, 1962, the Kabylie region was part of the "Third Historical Wilaya" of Algeria, which was one of the revolutionary zones. It was led by figures such as Krim Belkacem, Saïd Mohammedi, Colonel Amirouche, Abdel Rahmane Mira, and finally, Mohand Oulhadj.

Utilities

Soccer Stadium

The main pitch of the November 1, 1954 Stadium in Tizi Ouzou meets the specifications and standards of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). The Directorate of Youth and Sports in Tizi Ouzou, along with the Multi-Sports Complex Office in the province, provided the stadium with fifth-generation artificial turf, which has covered the pitch since 2014, similar to the Ramadan Oukil Stadium. Before 2014, the pitch was covered with tartan (a material) that posed a risk to football players.

The tartan was replaced by fifth-generation artificial turf, which ensures the protection of players and enhances their technical and tactical performance. The stadium's spectator stands are divided into three sections: the covered grandstand, the large uncovered stands, and the small uncovered stands.
