Closure
On June 25, 2019, the stadium was sold by the city of Nîmes to club president Rani Assaf for €8 million. It was planned that the stadium would be demolished and rebuilt, with the new ground accommodating 15,100 spectators in comparison to the current 18,482.[2]
On 5 November 2022, Nîmes Olympique played its final match at the Stade des Costières, a 1–0 Ligue 2 victory over Bordeaux.[3] The club would move into the Stade des Antonins on a temporary basis, before the demolition of the Stade des Costières would pave the way for the construction of the Stade Nemausus, with a projected completion in 2026.[4]
In November 2024, images of the Stade des Costières circulated in the media, highlighting the ground's overgrown grass and vegetation. The premises were left abandoned due to an ongoing conflict between Assaf and the city of Nîmes.[5]
