Stade Tata Raphaël (Father Raphael Stadium) is a multi-purpose stadium in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Originally known as Stade Roi Baudouin (King Baudouin Stadium) when it was inaugurated in 1952 and Stade du 20 Mai (20th of May Stadium) in 1967, it was used mostly for football matches. Its most famous event was The Rumble in the Jungle boxing match between Muhammed Ali and George Foreman that took place on October 30, 1974. There was an associated music festival, Zaire 74, that took place at the stadium six weeks prior to the boxing match. The stadium has a maximum capacity of 30,000 people.[1]
Following the downfall of the regime of President Mobutu Sese Seko in 1997, the stadium was renamed as Stade Tata Raphaël after Raphaël de la Kethulle de Ryhove, initiator of the stadium in 1952.
