Two halls of exception

MAHB is lucky to play in two exceptional halls since the 2010-2011 season

The mythical René Bougnol Sports Hall, where the club won the Champions League in 2003 and one of the official sites for the 2001 World Handball Championships; and the brand new Park&Suites Arena, offering high quality infrastructures to public and sponsors alike.

# The René Bougnol Sports Hall

The René Bougnol Sports Hall is full of history. MAHB won most of its trophies there; above all the famous Champions League in 2003. Official site for the 2001 World Handball Championships, the René Bougnol Sports Hall has a capacity of 3 000 seats all around the ground. The public is really close to the players which gives a great proximity.

    •    Capacity 3 000 seats
    •    90% of capacity full in 2010-2011

New for 2010-2011 : A brand new VIP lounge, with a capacity of 800 persons (800m2 adaptable reception space) and a covered terrace.

To a fitness place.
The second step of the building works will lead to a fitness space of 500 m² in September 2012 with high level body-building devices. The players will take advantage  of top quality facilities for physical training during the week and recuperation exercises after the matches.



# The Park&Suites Arena


In May 2033, MAHB won against Pamplona during the Final of the Champions League. A match that now belongs to the French Sports History. The idea of an Arena with 10 000 seats is growing up. MAHB has taken a further step forward in September 2010 by playing its European Champions League matches and the big matches in the French Championship at the Arena. Determined to shine on the European stage, MAHB now plays in front of 8 500 spectators, usually to a full house. The quest for more titles continues.
