Stade Océane
Le Havre spent decades at Jules-Deschaseaux before the club moved into a stadium built to replace it outright, and Le Havre AC took ownership of it on 22 May 2012.
The name itself was put to a public vote. That naming arrangement is due to end in June 2026, when shipping group CMA CGM's purchase of the commercial rights turns it into Stade CMA CGM Océane.
Didier Deschamps took his first match in charge of the French national side here, a goalless draw with Uruguay on 15 August 2012, and Senegal and Bosnia-Herzegovina played out the same scoreline on this pitch in 2018. The ground's biggest test came in 2019, when it hosted seven matches of the Women's World Cup, including the quarter-final in which England beat Norway 3-0. The stadium's own attendance record was also set by the women's game — 22,870 turned out on 19 January 2019 to watch France beat the United States 3-1 in a friendly.
The pitch runs on Desso GrassMaster, a hybrid surface of natural grass reinforced with synthetic fibres, and the ground has also staged touring concerts, its capacity stretching toward 33,000.
