Stadium Information

The Stade Pierre de Coubertin is a football stadium located in Cannes, France, serving as the main venue for AS Cannes. Inaugurated in the late 1960s, the stadium was initially designed as a multi-functional facility for athletics and rugby. However, in the mid-70s, rugby gave way to football, and in 1986, the athletics club moved to another facility, allowing the stadium to be exclusively dedicated to football. Currently, the stadium has an approximate capacity of 10,000 spectators, although it originally could accommodate up to 16,000 people. This reduction is due to the demolition of the north and south stands for safety and regulatory compliance reasons.

The attendance record was set on July 31, 1993, when 17,401 fans attended the match between AS Cannes and Olympique de Marseille. In addition to local matches, the stadium has hosted prominent events such as the Trophée des Champions in 2002 and 2004, where Olympique Lyonnais was crowned champion on both occasions. In the summer of 2023, a significant renovation took place that included the installation of high-quality hybrid turf and the upgrading of various sporting facilities, coinciding with the acquisition of the club by the Friedkin Group, which aims to bring AS Cannes back to professional football.
