About Stade Armand Cesari

Stade Armand Cesari, often referred to as Stade de Furiani, is a historic multi‑purpose football stadium in Bastia, Corsica. Home to Sporting Club Bastia (SC Bastia), the venue seats about 16,000 fans across four named stands: Est Jojo Petrignani (2,490), Nord Claude Papi (5,500), Ouest Pierre Cahuzac (2,990), and Sud Victor Lorenzi (6,000). The stadium sits along Route du Stade in Furiani and is a focal point for football and other events in Corsica.

As the venue undergoes modernization under CAB plans (2024–2025), expect updates to facilities while preserving the stadium’s storied role in Corsican sports history. Whether you’re attending a SC Bastia match or a special event, we’ll help you secure your seats, navigate parking and transit, and find convenient nearby accommodations and dining.

Parking on-site is limited, with estimated spaces varying by lot. Plan ahead: there is a drop-off area and bike parking for quick access. For rail and bus travelers, the closest rail stop is Furiani, and Corsican transport options like Un Trenu per Furiani can connect fans from Bastia. If you’re staying nearby, Bastia city center and the port offer a range of hotels and restaurants—our recommended options prioritize trusted partners for comfort and convenience. Always check venue updates ahead of a visit, especially during modernization phases.

Important notes: Stade Armand Cesari has a deep history, including hosting the 1978 UEFA Cup Final first leg (Bastia vs PSV Eindhoven) and the site of the Furiani tragedy in 1992. The venue remains a symbol of Corsican football heritage and community spirit.
