Stade TP Mazembe

Home of TP Mazembe, Africa's most successful club football team

The stadium in the Kamalondo suburb is the home ground of TP Mazembe (Tout Puissant Mazembe), the most decorated football club in African history. The club has won the Confederation of African Football Champions League five times and the Congolese league more often than any other side. Matches draw passionate crowds, and the atmosphere at a home game is worth experiencing if you happen to be in Lubumbashi during the season.

The stadium holds around 20,000 spectators and is one of the better-maintained sporting venues in the DRC. Tickets are available at the ground before matches. The club's dominance is tied to the resources of its owner, which has made it a controversial but undeniable force in African football.

A story
TP Mazembe has won the African Champions League five times — more than any other club — and reached the final of the FIFA Club World Cup in 2010, where they became the first African team to reach that stage. The club is owned by the Katanga governor Moïse Katumbi, who spent heavily on facilities and players in the 2000s to transform a provincial club into a continental power.
