In 1959, president Fouad Chehab commissioned the French architect Michel Écochard to develop a plan for the stadium.^[3] In 1964, the construction of the Jounieh Municipal Stadium was completed, surrounded by an Olympic-sized track and a covered grandstand with a capacity of 7,500 spectators.^[3] The complex also includes a basketball and volleyball hall, with two stands that can accommodate 2,000 seated and 3,500 standing spectators.^[3] In 1994, at the initiative of minister Georges Frem [fr], the stadium was renamed Fouad Chebab Stadium in honor of the late president.^[3]
