Their stadium, Complexe Sportif de Fès, is located at the southern end of the road to Sefrou (Trek Sefrou), built in a typical Moroccan style. Presentation of use accompanied by technical data, the sports complex of Fès was able to open its doors after much debate on the financing of its facilities. Located on an area of 40 hectares, the stadium can accommodate 45,000 spectators all seated.
