Overview

Roazhon Park is the home stadium of the professional football club Stade Rennais FC, located in the western outskirts of Rennes. The stadium features a seating capacity of approximately 29,000 spectators and is known for its steep, enclosed stands that keep fans close to the pitch. It was originally inaugurated in 1912 as the Stade de la Route de Lorient before undergoing significant modernization in the early 2000s. The venue is situated directly on the banks of the Vilaine River. In 2015, the stadium was officially renamed Roazhon Park, incorporating the Breton name for Rennes. It is a strictly multi-purpose facility that hosts Ligue 1 matches, international football fixtures, and occasional large-scale concerts.
