Centre Sportif de Sous-Moulin

The Centre Sportif de Sous-Moulin occupies a specific patch of ground in Thônex, a town that sits on the edge of Geneva. The facility is defined by its utility, serving the three communes of Chêne-Bougeries, Chêne-Bourg, and Thônex, a grouping known locally as Les Trois-Chêne.

The grounds were established in 1983, though the physical structure tells a longer story. The first stage of construction was completed in 1976, with a second phase finishing in 1999 after earlier plans for an ice rink were rejected. It hosts five football fields, tennis courts, and even a curling rink and ice skating surface, making it a hub for winter sports as well as the game played on grass.

The pitch itself is a point of contention. One source lists the surface as natural grass, while another reference to a local girls' football camp from 2023 describes it as synthetic turf. The discrepancy suggests either a renovation or a confusion between different fields within the same complex. The exact capacity for football matches remains obscure, with figures of 1,200 unable to be verified against official records. Its sports hall has hosted volleyball matches for the CEV Cup with attendances ranging from 450 to 800.

The address is Route de Sous-Moulin 39. It is a functional space, home to Geneva FC, Thônex FC, and CS Chênois. It is simply where the ball is kicked.
