The stadium was built in 1955 in Lyautey district (El-Hamri now) of Oran by mayor Henri Fouquès-Duparc. The stadium was open in 1957 with a capacity of 45,000 spectators and was the biggest stadium in Africa.
After independence it was named Municipal Stadium. After it was named again Stade 19 Juin 1965 in commemoration of the coup of Ahmed Ben Bella by Houari Boumediene made at that date. Now it's renamed Stade Ahmed Zabana.
In January 2008 it was renovated to make it compatible with the practice of Rugby union. It was equipped with artificial turf (fifth generation) to replace natural grass unfortunately in poor condition.
