Paris La Défense Arena holds 32,000 for rugby and is Racing 92’s home in Nanterre, west of Paris. It is the largest indoor arena in Europe and the only fully enclosed top-flight rugby venue in France.
Paris La Défense Arena capacity
Rugby capacity is 32,000. The building converts to a concert configuration holding around 40,000, which is what it is used for most of the year.
An indoor pitch
Being fully enclosed, the arena uses an artificial surface. Conditions never vary, and Racing’s game at home is played dry and fast regardless of the month.
Who plays here
Racing 92 play Top 14 and Champions Cup rugby here, having moved from Stade Yves-du-Manoir in Colombes in 2017.
