Stadium Information
Allianz Riviera, home of OGC Nice, is one of the most modern and environmentally focused stadiums in French football. Opened in 2013 on the western edge of Nice near the Var river, the stadium was built as part of a wider eco‑district development. Its contemporary bowl design features a
translucent roof canopy, steep seating tiers and excellent sightlines throughout.
With a capacity of around thirty-six thousand, the venue uses a natural grass pitch and is equipped to host domestic football, European fixtures and large-scale events. Matchdays at the Allianz Riviera blend Mediterranean atmosphere with modern infrastructure. Supporters arrive via tram services, park-and-ride facilities and regional road links before gathering in the open plazas around the stadium.
Inside, the atmosphere is shaped by organised support behind the goals, with noise building steadily rather than explosively. The roof design helps retain sound, particularly during evening matches, while wide concourse areas provide efficient circulation and a broad range of food and drink options. The stadium is well connected by Nice’s tram network, notably the line serving the stadium directly on matchdays, as well as motorway access and structured parking.
Accessibility features include step-free routes, lifts, wheelchair seating platforms, adapted toilets and dedicated assistance teams. The surrounding area includes commercial developments and open land designed to manage large crowds smoothly. For OGC Nice, Allianz Riviera represents modern ambition, sustainability and a long-term home aligned with the club’s vision for the future.
