Allianz Riviera

A low-carbon stadium with a timber-and-PTFE roof that collects rainwater; it hosted matches at Euro 2016.

Allianz Riviera has been the home of OGC Nice since 2013, and holds 35,624 spectators for football. The playing surface is hybrid grass, and the record attendance of 35,000 was set in a fixture that still gets talked about in Nice.

For a matchday, the ground sits in Nice and is served by local rail and bus routes; arriving 45 minutes before kick-off is the difference between a queue and a seat. Away supporters are usually housed in one corner block, and the atmosphere is loudest behind the goal at the home end.
