history
The Stade Océane in Le Havre, the largest city in Normandy in terms of population and also the city with the second largest French port, was built for two years between 2010 and 2012. On July 12, 2012, exactly two years after the start of construction, the opening took place with a friendly game between the future user association, the Le Havre AC football club , and the Lille OSC . The game was won 2-1 by the first division and champions of 2011 from Lille .
Since summer 2012, Le Havre AC has been hosting its home games in the new Stade Océane. The club currently plays in the second-tier Ligue 2 , but can look back on a large number of years in the French top division of football. The club was also able to win the title of French football champions three times, with the last such success dating back to 1919. In 1959, the last great success to date was celebrated with the cup victory. For the last time, Le Havre AC was represented first class in the 2008/09 season , but since then you can only find the traditional club in Ligue 2, where in the past season ( 2011/12 ) with rank fifteen the relegation to the third division is only relatively narrowly escaped.
Since there are ambitions in the club environment to play first class again in the near future, the club's management decided in 2009 to build a new stadium, with initial plans in this direction as early as 2004. The new venue was to be the aging Stade Jules Deschaseaux , venue for the 1938 World Cup and for a long time the home stadium of Le Havre AC, which recently only offered space for a good 16,000 people and was therefore not ideal for the demands of the club was to replace. Construction work on the new arena began on July 12, 2010. Two years later, Le Havre's new stadium, the Stade Océane, was completed. It is currently the largest sports facility in Normandy and also exceeds the capacity of the previously largest in Normandy, the SM Caen stadium , the Stade Michel-d'Ornano , by around 4,000 seats.
An international match for the French national football team has already taken place here since the opening of the sports facility . On August 15, 2012, received Equipe Tricolore , the National Team of Uruguay in a friendly game that ended in a goalless draw in front of 25,000 spectators at the Stade Océane Le Havre. In addition to football events, the Stade Océane is also home to rugby games. In front of over 11,000 spectators, Stade Français beat their French opponents from FC Grenoble with 28:25 in the 2012/13 European Cup . Other spectacles such as concerts can also be held in the Stade Océane. In this case, the arena's capacity increases to 33,000 spectators.
For multiple use, the field was given a natural turf area into which 20 million artificial turf fibers were inserted 20 cm deep into the ground by machine . Over time, the roots of the natural green grow together with the synthetic fibers and the playing field becomes more resistant to heavy use. The bright blue outer shell of the sports arena consists of a 0.25 mm thin ETFE film, such as was used for the outer skin of the Munich Allianz Arena . Solar modules with an area of 1,500 m² are installed on the roof .
