Nîmes / Bordeaux: a gala poster, for a farewell. It is this Saturday, November 5, at 3 p.m., that the Crocos will play the very last match in the history of the Costières stadium. It will then be destroyed, before a complete reconstruction. Historically, Nîmes Olympique will always be associated with Jean-Bouin, but the Costières stadium took over in 1989, under the leadership of Mayor Jean Bousquet (1983-95). In its place, then: the Nemausus stadium, 15,000 seats, expected for 2026; the enclosure will be surrounded by hotels, housing, a school of higher education, but also shops, restaurants and offices. Investment: 230 million, financed by Rani Assaf’s company, Nemau.
