The main multi-use stadium in Asmara, also known by its older Italian name as the Cicero Stadium, hosts football matches and athletic events. Built during the Italian period and renovated several times since, it holds around 15,000 spectators.
Asmara has a strong cycling culture, and the velodrome attached to the stadium hosts criteriums and time trials during the season. Foreigners can usually buy tickets at the gate on match days for a few dollars.
