Ground facts
| Opened | Not documented (No source gives a construction or opening date; the venue existed by 2004, the year of all three recorded matches. A modern indoor multipurpose arena, Arene du Sud, was later built in the same town (Paita) for the 2011 Pacific Games, but this appears to be a separate, newer venue rather than a rename of this ground, since it postdates these matches by several years and is described as an indoor facility rather than an outdoor rugby pitch -- this is disclosed as unconfirmed rather than assumed either way.) |

Name history
Rugby league history
A New Caledonia venue that hosted a short cluster of international rugby league fixtures in 2004: New Caledonia's heavy home loss to Greece (crowd over 1,200, the top figure recorded on this site, independently corroborated by Wikipedia's New Caledonia national rugby league team article) and two Cook Islands vs Fiji fixtures later that year. Little else about the venue itself is publicly documented -- no capacity, floodlight, playing-surface or opening-date information could be found anywhere.
