Stadiums and sports facilities Pyrénées-Orientales

The Cathedral! Some might think that this nickname given to the Aimé-Giral stadium is a little pompous! And yet, at every home match, the USAP becomes the high priestess of a veritable sporting mass. The fans line the stands with blood and gold banners; here, we say "Maî morirem! "(We never die!) because USAP is more than a club, it's a religion. Aimé-Giral is the kind of stadium where you don't want to be a visitor when theEstaca rings out, 11,000 hearts singing in unison! An incredible moment.

The stadium is named after a local rugby XV player, manager and referee who died in 1944 as a result of the war. Dedicated since time immemorial to XIII rugby, this is the home of our "Catalan Dragons". The seats are decked out in the Catalan colors of "sang et or". It can accommodate 11,200 people - over 8,000 seated - and boasts a bodega, a 400 m² boutique and a brasserie. The club's partners are welcomed in a 500 m² VIP lounge, while a panoramic box seating 400 people crowns the building.

Nestled in the heart of a former area, the Grand Stadium Les Capellans, in the immediate vicinity of the Jardin des Plantes, is worth a visit. Open to all, it is the training centre for high-level sports teams. Its tennis courts in the shade of palm trees, squash and its cardio-training and fitness rooms make it one of the most beautiful sports complexes in the region. Sports or not, you can enjoy its lounge space in a relaxed atmosphere.
