Stade du Ray, Football stadium in Nice, France
Stade du Ray is a football stadium in Nice, France. It features a main stand and open terraces, with a rectangular field surrounded by barriers and floodlights.
Stade du Ray opened in 1927 and served as the home of OGC Nice for many years. It was replaced by a newer stadium in 2013, after which the site was partly redeveloped.
The Ray area is a residential district where local football fans gather on match days. The stadium's name comes from the neighborhood, and its terraces have long been a meeting point for supporters.
The stadium is in the Ray neighborhood, north of the city center, and can be reached by tram or bus. Visitors should check the schedule for matches or events, as access is limited at other times.
The stadium's record attendance was set in 1968 during a match against Saint-Étienne. The site now hosts amateur matches and community events, retaining its local football roots.
