About the place

Football culture shapes the weekly rhythm around the modern arena.

OGC Nice anchors the stadium as its primary tenant for professional football fixtures. The venue also stages select home matches for rugby union side Toulon, bringing major regional sporting events under one roof. Modern facilities replaced the municipal ground at Stade Municipal du Ray, creating an expansive arena designed to handle high-attendance fixtures.
