Nice Stadium is an ultramodern venue located close to the Mediterranean on the southern coast of France. Built in 2013 to replace the city’s previous facility (the ageing and outdated Stade du Ray), the arena is home to football club OGC Nice, and has a capacity of 36,178. This new stadium includes more than 10,000 sqm of exhibition space and has been designed in line with environmentally responsible standards, illustrated by 7,000 sqm of rooftop solar panels and a system for harvesting and reusing rainwater.

With Nice Stadium, the capital of the Côte d’Azur region has a modular, multifunctional showcase venue for cultural and sporting events. In addition to the French and European matches of OGC Nice, the stadium has hosted several high-level events, including matches for Euro 2016 and matches for the French national football team.

Thanks to its vast available spaces, Nice Stadium is also home to the National Sports Museum, visited by more than 70,000 people each year.

Legacy

Following the Paris 2024 Games, Nice Stadium will continue to host the home matches of OGC Nice, as well as other cultural events throughout the year.
