Karate‑do hall
Boxing hall
Martial arts hall
Wrestling hall

Training hall
6 changing rooms: 4 for athletes and 2 for referees
A room dedicated to doping tests
The honorary hall
A hall dedicated to various media and press for broadcasting and commentary

Finally, this hall is more than just a facility — it is a symbol of the resilience of Algerian sport and a living memory that continues writing new chapters of achievement and brilliance.
