Toulouse Municipal Stadium

Toulouse Municipal Stadium is the largest multi-purpose stadium in Toulouse, France, and the seventh-largest stadium in the country, with a maximum capacity of 35,472 spectators. The stadium is located on Île du Ramier, near the city center of Toulouse. It is a dedicated venue for football and rugby, so there are no running tracks around the field.

Toulouse Municipal Stadium was built in 1937 specifically for the 1938 FIFA World Cup. It underwent two expansions in 1949 and 1997. This pitch has hosted numerous internationally renowned events, such as six matches during the 1998 FIFA World Cup, the 2007 Rugby World Cup match between Japan and Fiji, which ended 35:31, and the 2009 South Africa International Sevens rugby tournament on November 13, 2009.

Currently, Toulouse Municipal Stadium is primarily used for football matches and serves as the home ground for Toulouse Football Club, a team in France's Ligue 1. Additionally, it is the largest rugby venue in the Toulouse region and hosts tournaments organized by the French national rugby league.
