Did you know?

Raymond Kopa is a veritable Angers icon: the 1958 European Footballer of the Year wore the club’s colours with pride from 1949 to 1951. Spotted during the French national youth football trials of 1949, he subsequently signed a contract with Angers, for whom he would go on to score 14 goals. To honour their former star, Angers decided to change the name of their stadium to “Stade Raymond-Kopa” in 2017.

Player to watch

Angelo Fulgini
20/08/1996
Midfielder

Born in Abidjan in 1996, Angelo Fulgini is an up-and-coming and talented midfielder. On the first day of the 2015/2016 campaign, Fulgini found the back of the net after just four minutes, thereby becoming the first goalscorer of the Ligue 2 Dominos season. The promising youngster created another piece of history for himself the following term, notching the second division’s fastest-ever hat-trick versus Orléans on 21 April 2017. Three months later, he put pen to paper on a four-year contract with Angers, and scored his first goal for the club – against Bordeaux – on the opening day of the Ligue 1 Conforama season.
Having played for France at various youth levels, he was recently handed three caps by Sylvain Ripoll, France’s U-21 coach.

Stade Raymond Kopa

Stade Raymond-Kopa was opened in 1912 under its initial name of Stade Bessonneau. Following its renovation in 1957, the stadium was renamed in honour of Jean Bouin, the renowned French athlete who died in action during World War I. On 6 March 2017, a few days after the death of Raymond Kopa in Angers, the town’s mayor proposed bestowing the name of the former star on the arena, a suggestion that was met with unanimous approval. The stadium’s current capacity is 14,277.
