About this venue
Raymond Kopa Stadium is a compact football venue and the home ground of Angers SCO. Following several phases of redevelopment, the stadium features modern stands arranged closely around the pitch, creating clear sightlines and an engaging matchday setting. With a capacity of approximately 19,800 spectators and a name honouring legendary French footballer Raymond Kopa, it is one of Angers’ principal sporting venues.
Spectators remain close to the action, while the enclosed layout helps concentrate crowd noise and create an energetic atmosphere. Facilities include modern seating, large video screens, food and beverage outlets, hospitality areas and a panoramic restaurant overlooking the pitch. Available services and entry rules may vary according to the event and ticketed section.
The exact address is Boulevard de Coubertin, Angers, France. Several public entrances are located along Boulevard de Coubertin, while other stands are reached from the surrounding streets, so visitors should check the gate printed on their ticket. The stadium does not have an official public car park directly beside the stands, and the Saumuroise bus stop is approximately a five-minute walk away.

About the city: Angers
Angers, the historic centre of the Pays de la Loire region, is an appealing destination for concerts, sporting events, festivals, fairs and cultural performances. The city combines the lively atmosphere of a university and cultural centre with an easy-to-navigate urban core, allowing visitors to combine an event with restaurants, cafés and accommodation in different categories. Venues, convention facilities, the exhibition complex and sports facilities in Angers and its wider metropolitan area make the city a practical choice for audiences travelling for music, sport or entertainment.
Travel around the city is organised through the Irigo network, which connects bus services and tram lines A, B and C with the centre, neighbourhoods and important transport hubs. The main railway gateway to the city is Angers Saint-Laud, a station served by TGV INOUI, OUIGO, INTERCITÉS and regional TER trains, from which the centre and numerous event locations can be reached by tram, bus, taxi or on foot. International visitors often use Nantes Atlantique Airport, while Angers Loire Airport in Marcé serves regional, business and private aviation; convenient road access further simplifies journeys to stadiums, arenas and exhibition venues.
Before or after a concert, match or performance, it is worth walking to Place du Ralliement, exploring the historic streets of the city centre and visiting the monumental Château d’Angers above the Maine River. A walk along the banks of the Maine, a visit to the La Doutre district and views towards Saint-Maurice Cathedral reveal the quieter side of the city, while the squares, terraces and architecture of old Angers provide plenty to experience during a complete city stay. The combination of events, convenient transport and distinctive heritage makes Angers an enjoyable destination for visitors seeking more than just a ticket.
