Home of Ligue 1 side OGC Nice, the Allianz Riviera was built in 2013 as part of France’s successful bid to host UEFA Euro 2016. The 36,178 capacity stadium went on to host 3 group matches and the ill-fated Round of 16 match for England where they were defeated by the minnows of Iceland 2-1.
The stadium host 4 group matches at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019 (including England v Scotland and France v Norway), a Round of 16 match and the third placed play-off in which Sweden defeated England 2-1. Top 14 Rugby Union side RC Toulon also occasionally play home matches at the Allianz Riviera, as do the France international football team.
Four pool matches at the 2023 Rugby World Cup will be played at the venue.
