The Parc des Sports d'Annecy ( German Sports Park of Annecy ) is the football and athletics stadium in the French city of Annecy in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region . It is the home venue of the FC Annecy football club and the temporary venue for FC Évian Thonon Gaillard and offers 15,600 seats to visitors.
The two covered longitudinal stands visually dominate the stadium. They are covered with wave-shaped roofs and equipped with seats. Standing places are in the stadium curves in the north and south. The playing field is enclosed by an athletics facility. The stadium is also nicknamed La Cuvette (Eng. The Bowl ).
In 2010, the facility for Ligue 2 was renovated. Since the rise of FC Évian Thonon Gaillard, the club is based in the stadium of Annecy; after the Stade Joseph-Moynat does not meet the requirements of the second French soccer league. After the FC Évian TG managed to move up to Ligue 1 ; the stadium will be adapted to the requirements of the French premier league. The audience capacity will be increased from around 12,000 to around 15,600 seats. Plastic seats with backrests are installed. A roofed tubular steel grandstand will be built behind the gate in the south. The entrances are being redesigned. The playing field receives a new lawn and a drainage system ; in addition some 150 meters are electronic LED - advertising boards available. The changing rooms are being modernized. The grandstands will be divided into blocks and the size of the VIP room for visitors will be doubled from 800 to 1,600 m 2 . For television transmissions are built among others Camera courts and pitches for the broadcast truck created. The work should be completed by the start of the 2011/12 season in mid-August.
The plans for a temporary move to Lancy in the Stade de Genève in the nearby Swiss canton of Geneva were prohibited by UEFA . The two locations Seynod and Ville-la-Grand are currently being examined for the new stadium. The aim is to build a stadium with 15,000 to 20,000 seats at a cost of 30 million euros by 2014.
In 1987, 1993 and 1994 the Parc des Sports hosted the French Athletics Championships. The Junior World Championships in Athletics took place from July 28 to August 2, 1998 at the Annecy Stadium. The DecaNation athletics event, which has been held annually since 2005 , stopped in Annecy on September 11, 2010.
