It is the main stadium in Angers. It was opened in 1912 by the industrialist Julien Bessonneau and in 1957 passed into the hands of the city, which removed the athletics track and built the Saint-Léonard stand. It was called Jean-Bouin until 2017, when the city council named it after Raymond Kopa, the 1958 Ballon d'Or winner, who began his professional career at SCO. It added the Colombier stand in 1993 for promotion to the top flight, the Coubertin stand in 2010 in place of the old grassy mound, and a new Saint-Léonard stand in 2022, which raised capacity to 19,800. Its attendance record is 22,989 spectators, against Olympique de Marseille in 1969.
