[1] The stadium was designed in 1954 by the well known French architect le Corbusier on the site of Firminy-Green in a former quarry.

Fernand Gardien and André Wogenscky managed the project according to the original plan after the death of Le Corbusier in 1966.

[2] In the initial project the architect intended a stadium of 3,000 to 5,000 places, of which 1,000 were covered.

The terraces face the House of Culture and the rear of St. Peter's Church, making a set.

The City Council is planning the renovation of the stadium and to finish the original project by providing 1,000 covered places.
