Stade Pater Te Hono Nui

Stade Pater Te Hono Nui is a football stadium in the capital of French Polynesia, built with a natural grass pitch and seating capacity for around 15,000 spectators. The facility provides comprehensive amenities for athletes and spectators during local and national football events.

The stadium opened on September 10, 1971, as one of the first major sports facilities in French Polynesia. It has since become a central venue for football matches across the region.

The stadium serves as a gathering place for local football teams like Dragon Tahiti and Tiare Tahiti, where fans come together to support their squads. National team matches held here give the venue significant importance in regional sports culture.

The stadium is easily accessible on foot from central Papeete and offers ample parking for visitors. During major matches, it is advisable to arrive early to secure good seats and avoid overcrowding.

The stadium underwent extensive renovation between 2025 and 2027 under China State Construction Engineering. This modernization project aimed to improve the infrastructure and prepare it for larger international events.
