The former and legendary Velodrome Stadium has now been replaced by the Orange Velodrome. It is difficult to recognize the old structures of the previous stage, renovated twice, for the 1998 World Cup and the 2016 Euro. The structure is impressive and its capacity of 67,394 spectators makes it the second largest stadium in France. It obviously hosts OM matches, with the current achievements of the players who succeeded Waddle, Boli and Papin. OM fans will have an unforgettable moment of fervour on game nights. In addition to the OM, the stadium sometimes also hosts rugby matches of the Toulon neighbour of the RCT, international football or rugby matches as well as concerts. The new Le Prado shopping centre now makes it a fully-fledged living space, and the stadium is also intended to host seminars and private events. Much more than just a stadium, the Orange Velodrome perpetuates the legend of the Velodrome.

When you talk about rugby in France, you think instantly at Mayol Stadium. The Var enclosure is the European reference! Although the galleries are a little outdated, Mayol remains the only place in the middle of the city. Furthermore, quietly located in your seat, you have a direct view of the harbour and the Mediterranean Sea climbing the port of Toulon. Take advantage of these moments of calm before the storm to admire the panorama. At the time of the players'entry, the chaudron chaudron at the rhythm of the Flannelette-Flannelette. The Flannelette-Flannelette is the war song of Toulon pirates. A kind of hakka that leaves no amateur rugby enthusiast! Moreover, the greatest names recognize that a Flannelette-Flannelette is an unforgettable moment in a career. As much as the entrance to the lawn and the exit of the vestiaires still turbulent under the booing of a Var audience among the most steaming of Top 14!

This multi-sports stadium is located in the heart of the city centre, a stone's throw from the tramway and bus stop, as well as the Vallier swimming pool. There is also a large car park next door, allowing you to park easily. The stadium is accessible to all but the practice of sports is strictly controlled. Too many people used to come here for walks or picnics because of the lack of green spaces in the centre. From now on, you can practice athletics on the track, practice team sports with friends on the central lawn.

Located between the Krypton relay park and Pont de L 'arc, this is the stadium of the sports complex of Robert Ruocco-Angari.
