Adrar Stadium in Hay Mohammadi, Agadir, was designed by the Moroccan architect Sad Benkirane with Gregotti Associati International of Italy. The Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Ministry of Equipment and Transport own it, and Sonarges operates it. The project began on paper in 2003, work resumed in 2007 and 2009, and it opened on October 11, 2013 with a friendly between Hassania Agadir and JS Kabylie. The article gives no style name.
The stone-stepped facade evokes a stepped pyramid. The pitch measures 105 by 84 meters and is ringed by an athletics track. Capacity is 45,480. The original budget was 860 million dirhams, and the final upgrade is listed at 1.008 billion. A conference center, an exhibition center, shops and restaurants share the site.
