The ground has been home to Toulouse F.C. (TFC) since the 1950s but was rebuilt for the 1998 Football World Cup.

It was damaged in the 2001 AZF explosion when a chemical factory on the outskirts of the city blew up.

Since then, Stade Toulousain have occasionally played bigger matches there, including their epic Heineken Cup quarter-final defeat by Leinster in 2006.

The stadium recently hosted its first UEFA Champions League match in August when Liverpool were the visitors.

The arena was originally used from 1949 as the bull ring of the 'Pink City'.
