The stadium has a capacity of 36,178 people and replaces the city's former stadium [[Stade Municipal du Ray]]. Construction started in 2011 and was completed two years later. The stadium's opening was on 22 September 2013, for a match between OGC Nice and [[Valenciennes FC|Valenciennes]].

The stadium was originally planned to be completed by 2007. However, construction was halted the previous year because of concerns related to the future cost of the structure. Plans for the stadium, located in Saint-Isidore near the [[Var (river)|Var]], were then shelved. The project was revived as part of France's ultimately successful bid to host [[UEFA Euro 2016]]. The stadium hosted six matches at the [[2019 FIFA Women's World Cup]]<ref name="The nine host cities confirmed">{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/news/the-nine-host-cities-confirmed-2894761.html |title=The nine host cities confirmed |publisher=[[FIFA]] |date=14 June 2017}}{{dead link|date=October 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> and six matches at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Anderson |first=Jason |title=Olympics soccer schedule: Everything to know about the matches at Paris Games |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2024/07/24/paris-olympics-2024-soccer-schedule-format-venues/74353585007/ |access-date=2025-04-11 |website=USA TODAY |language=en-US}}</ref>

The stadium is bordered on its east by a short shopping street. Access for away fans as of 30 January 2025 is on the northwest on the bottom floor, on the north end of the west parking square.
