History

Summarize

Perspective

The arena opened around 1974. In 1981, the arena was the venue of the European Champions Cup Final, in which Maccabi Tel Aviv defeated Sinudyne Bologna 80–79.^[1] In February 2005, the Davis Cup match between France and Sweden took place in this arena. In 2014, the venue hosted the European Fencing Championships. In 2016, it hosted the Fed Cup final.^[2]

On April 3, 2009, USA President Barack Obama spoke to a French and German crowd at the arena, while the President was in Strasbourg for the 2009 Strasbourg-Kehl summit.^[3]

Renovation and expansion

In 2018, it was announced the arena would undergo major renovations and expansion. These will include expanding the arena's capacity to 8,071 in the first phase and to 10.000 in a second phase.^[4] The project is estimated to cost 40 million euros. Naming rights have been secured by Crédit Mutuel.^[5] The project was estimated to begin in summer 2019 and to be completed by summer 2021, opening as the Crédit Mutuel Forum. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the planned completion was postponed to 2023.^[6]

However, as of 2025, construction hasn't started, and the building permit expires in June 2025, making it unclear whether the project will be realized.^[7]
