Estadio de Bata is the largest stadium of Equatorial Guinea.<\/p>\n

The stadium was originally built in 2007, but extensively renovated in 2011 for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations. The first match at the reopened stadium, on the 6th<\/sup> of January 2012, was a friendly between the national teams of Equatorial Guinea and South Africa.<\/p>\n

As a result of the works capacity increased with 13,000 seats, a roof was added, and the interior as well as exterior upgraded.<\/p>\n

At the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations the stadium hosted 6 group matches, a quarter-final, and the semi-final between Zambia and Ghana (1-0).<\/p>\n
