The Allianz Riviera, designed by internationally renowned architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, opened in 2013. An initiative of the City of Nice, the project received strong backing from Allianz, the stadium name partner.
The venue has already given a fantastic boost to its resident club, OGC Nice, thanks to its quality facilities and the spectator experience it offers.
