Following the downfall of President Mobutu Sese Seko's regime in 1997, the stadium was renamed Stade Tata Raphaël after Raphaël de la Kethulle de Ryhove, initiator of the stadium in 1952. Mustapha Tchaker Stadium thumb|right|200px|Mustapha Tchaker Stadium in Blida, Algeria hosted the second leg. Mustapha Tchaker Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Blida, Algeria. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium has a capacity of 37,000 people. The stadium is the home of the Algeria national football team. The stadium was inaugurated on 26 February 2001. The first local match of the USM Blida at Mustapha Tchaker Stadium took place on 30 August 2001. This is, then, a first match of Algerian championship (D1) against USM Alger (0-0). It became the main stadium of the Algerian football team from 2008. However, the first international match to be held there was on 20 August 2002. It is, then, a friendly match against the DR Congo national football team (1-1). It is regarded as good luck by the Algerian fans and as a "impregnable fortress" by the specialists. Indeed, the Algerian team has never lost in this stadium. The ES Sétif administration confirmed that the selection of the Blida stadium is because it has all the necessary conditions to organize a final match.
