This project includes two stadiums located respectively in Baffoussam and Limbe. Each of them has a capacity of 15,000 seats.

The two stadiums use different circulation pattern to resolve the interfering pedestrian flow, putting the spectators on second floor terrace and athletes, VIP and employees on the ground floor.
