Stade de l’Ill – stadium description

Located by the bank of River Ill, the stadium in eastern French city of Mulhouse was built in 1979. The field and 8-lane running track is surrounded with several-row sunken bowl of terracing. Above it there are two covered concrete grandstands.

The west side, thanks to all sporting facilities being hidden beneath it, is considered the main one, also being the first one to become an all-seated area.

The stadium is primarily used for football by FC Mulhouse, though it’s also the city’s main training facility and the site of numerous sporting events.
