Hammadi Agrebi Stadium (ملعب حمادي العقربي), originally known as the 7 November Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium located in Radès Sports City, a southern suburb of Tunis, Tunisia. Built between 1998 and 2001 for the 2001 Mediterranean Games, it serves as the main venue for the Tunisia national football team, Espérance Sportive de Tunis, and Club Africain.
The stadium features a covered amphitheater with an operational capacity of 60,000 spectators (all seated), although the original design allowed up to 65,000. Covering 13,000 square meters, it includes the main pitch, three auxiliary fields, two warm-up halls, electronic scoreboards, an honorary tribune seating 7,000, and a press box with 300 seats.
The stadium was inaugurated on 6 July 2001 during the 2000–01 Tunisian Cup final, in which CS Hammam-Lif defeated Étoile du Sahel 1–0, and Anis Ben Chouikha scored the stadium’s first goal. It later hosted six matches during the 2004 African Cup of Nations (24 January – 14 February 2004), including the final, where Tunisia defeated Morocco 2–1 to win the title.
