FRANCE: FC Girondins de Bordeaux (2015-)

Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux - Atlantique, Bordeaux (Football Club des Girondins de Bordeaux)

France, department: Gironde

23 XII 2018 / FC Girondins Bordeaux - Amiens SC 1-1 / Ligue 1 (= FRA level 1)

Note 1: FC Girondins Bordeaux moved to their new ground in 2015, after having occupied the Stade Municipal - Jacques Chaban-Delmas for 77 years (1938-2015).

Note 2: for the match I visited, the 'Kop' area for Bordeaux' hardcore fans was closed due to a punishment for the use of pyrotechnics during a previous match (against PSG). For that reason, the ultra group was moved up one storey to the upper half of the stand.
