The Stade des Costières was a football stadium in Nîmes, France. Having a capacity of 18,364 people, it was the home of Nîmes Olympique from 1989 to 2022.[1]
On June 25, 2019, the stadium was sold by the city of Nîmes to club president Rani Assaf for €8 million. The stadium will be demolished and rebuilt by 2025, and will be able to accommodate 15,100 spectators, compared with the current 18,482.[2]
Closure and redevelopment
On 5 November 2022, Nîmes Olympique played its final match at the Stade des Costières, a 1–0 Ligue 2 victory over Bordeaux.[3] The club would move into the Stade des Antonins on a temporary basis, before the demolition of the Stade des Costières would pave the way for the construction of the Stade Nemausus, with a projected completion in 2026.[4]
