YelloPark

YelloPark was a proposed football stadium planned to be built in Nantes, France. It was expected to serve as the stadium of FC Nantes and as a football venue for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris and the 2023 Rugby World Cup. The stadium would have had a capacity of 40,000 and its construction was projected to take place between 2019 and 2022.[2][3][4] It was to be built near the Stade de la Beaujoire that it was planned eventually to replace.

On 7 December 2018, Nantes Metropolitan Council approved the sale of the land to be used as the site for the stadium. Councillors also voted for the renovation of the Stade de la Beaujoire.[1][5]

On 26 February 2019, the project was cancelled.[6]
