The Stade François Coty (Corsican: Stadiu François Coty) is a football stadium in the Corsican city of Ajaccio, France, and the home of AC Ajaccio. Its capacity is 10,660.
The stadium was inaugurated on 1 December 1969 under the name Parc des Sports de l'ACA.[2] A crowd of 14,421 was in attendance to see AC Ajaccio defeat SC Bastia in the Corsican derby.[3] Known informally as Timizzolu, the stadium was renovated in 2002 and renamed after François Coty (1874–1934), a businessman and far-right politician from Ajaccio.[2] Since 2007, the stadium has undergone substantial improvements to enable it to host Ligue 1 matches.[4][5]
