The stadium is built on an island in the Garonne river known as the Île du Ramier.
During the 1998 FIFA World Cup, the stadium hosted six matches, including England versus Tunisia.
The venue is nicknamed 'Le Petit Wembley' due to its structural inspiration from the original Wembley Stadium in London.
It has been designated as a 'Site of Regional Interest' for the Occitanie area due to its sporting significance.
The venue utilizes a hybrid grass surface to ensure durability during both football and rugby seasons.
The Stadium de Toulouse is a major multi-purpose venue situated on the Ramier island between the Garonne River and the Canal de Brienne. Originally constructed for the 1938 FIFA World Cup, it serves as the home ground for the Toulouse Football Club. The stadium underwent significant renovations to meet modern standards for the UEFA Euro 2016 tournament. It features a distinctive concrete design often compared to the architecture of Wembley Stadium. The facility accommodates major athletic events, rugby matches, and high-capacity concerts throughout the year. It remains the largest sports venue in the city of Toulouse.
