@geoalgeria/sports

Every sports facility in Algeria — as data you can install.

5,141 sports facilities across Algeria — proximity fields, stadiums, swimming pools, specialized halls, athletics tracks, tennis courts, equestrian centers, nautical bases and more — each with its name, facility type, address, commune / daïra / wilaya, capacity, operational status, PMR accessibility, built and land area, year of reception, and geographic coordinates. Sourced from the Ministère de la Jeunesse et des Sports GIS (sig.mjs.gov.dz), shipped as JSON, CSV, and GeoJSON. Part of GeoAlgeria.

npm install @geoalgeria/sports

import sports from "@geoalgeria/sports";

const all = sports.facilities();                    // 5,141
const inOran = sports.facilitiesByWilaya(31);       // facilities in wilaya 31
const pools = sports.facilitiesByType("P25");       // every 25 m pool

// Everything has lat/lng — distance-sort, map, or nearest-facility in a few lines.

What you can build

• "Nearest pool / stadium" lookups — coordinates on every record, ready for distance sorting.
• Sports & civic apps — map stadiums, pools and courts per wilaya, filter by type or status.
• Maps — drop-in GeoJSON point layer for the entire sports infrastructure network.
• Research & planning — facility density by type, capacity analysis, operational status audits.

Spanning 58 wilayas, every facility geocoded. wilaya_code is linked against the geoalgeria wilaya model.

Formats

The npm package ships the JSON (importable directly):

import facilities from "@geoalgeria/sports/data/facilities.json" with { type: "json" };
// or via CDN, no install:
// https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@geoalgeria/sports/data/facilities.json

The loaders and record shapes are fully typed — TypeScript definitions ship in the package:

import sports, { type Facility } from "@geoalgeria/sports";
const all: Facility[] = sports.facilities();

CSV and GeoJSON are in the repo under data/ and bundled in every GitHub Release:

data/
  facilities.json            # 5,141 facilities (array)
  metadata.json              # source, counts, by_type, generated_at
  csv/facilities.csv         # repo + Release bundle (not in npm tarball)
  geojson/facilities.geojson # Point features (all 5,141 are geocoded)

Record shape

{
  "id": 6,
  "name": "Bassin de natation T'sabit",
  "type_code": "BN",
  "type_fr": "Bassin de natation",
  "address": "Tsabit. Adrar",
  "commune": "TSABIT",
  "daira": "TSABIT",
  "wilaya_code": "01",
  "wilaya_name": "ADRAR",
  "capacity": 80,
  "year": 2005,
  "operational": false,
  "pmr": false,
  "surface_built_m2": 504,
  "surface_land_m2": 504,
  "lat": 28.3057,
  "lng": -0.2446,
  "source": "https://sig.mjs.gov.dz/dashboard/viewer"
}

Names, communes, daïras and wilaya names are French (as published by the ministry's GIS). wilaya_code is zero-padded to two digits. For Arabic wilaya and commune names, join wilaya_code against the geoalgeria dataset.

Need the administrative divisions too?

If you also need wilayas, dairas, and communes to join against, use the main geoalgeria package — it ships the full wilaya division dataset that wilaya_code here links to. Use @geoalgeria/sports when you only need sports infrastructure data.

Source

Data comes from the Ministère de la Jeunesse et des Sports, via the public GIS (https://sig.mjs.gov.dz/dashboard/viewer). The ministry maintains a GeoServer with the infrastructures_sportives layer publicly queryable over WMS. Run npm run fetch to regenerate every output from the live GIS. The build resolves wilaya names to codes against the flagship dataset, normalises infrastructure types to stable short codes, and fails loudly if the facility count collapses or an unknown type appears.
