Situated in the Petit-Paris neighbourhood of the city's 3rd arrondissement, immediately adjacent to the Stade Omar Bongo omnisports complex, the venue was purpose-built to host the 2018 African Men's Handball Championship and inaugurated on 16 January 2018 by President Ali Bongo Ondimba. With a total built area of 15,220 m², including an 8,000 m² playing surface, and a capacity of roughly 6,000, it is one of the largest indoor venues in Central Africa.
