Name


Hammadi Agrebi stadium by night.
Hammadi Agrebi stadium by night.

At the time of its creation, the stadium was named 7 November Stadium, the date that Zine El Abidine Ben Ali assumed the Presidency on 7 November 1987 in a bloodless coup d'état that ousted President Habib Bourguiba. But, following his ousting in 2011, it took the name of the Stade Olympique de Radès.

In August 2020, following the death of Hammadi Agrebi, Prime Minister Elyes Fakhfakh renamed the stadium in his name. This announcement surprises the mayor of Radès who indicates that the municipal council will meet to make a decision. But, the Ministry of Local Affairs responds that the stadium is placed under the direction of the Ministry of Youth and Sports and not under the direction of the municipality of Radès, so the name of the stadium is officially changed. The municipality of Rades did not raise the issue again, as the Tunisian Football Federation, the Confederation of African Football and FIFA started using the new name for the stadium, which made it the usual name since then.
