Easi Arena

History

Easi Arena is the brand-new stadium for RAAL La Louvière, inaugurated on June 28, 2025. The project began in 2021 following the club’s rise through the divisions, and construction started in March 2024, designed by Cyril Rousseau (Carré 7) and built by Groupe Wanty. Costing around €18 million and funded by club president Salvatore Curaba, it replaces the former Stade du Tivoli. The stadium carries its naming rights through a five‑year deal with IT firm Easi, signed in mid‑June 2025.

Description

Easi Arena seats approximately 8,050 spectators in a compact, fully covered bowl. It features an artificial pitch, 13 VIP boxes, open‑space catering areas, dedicated stands for men’s, women’s, and reserve teams, plus adjacent fan village and art installations by over 40 local artists. The design fosters an intimate match‑day atmosphere.

Architectural Features

Featuring a green‑and‑white design reflecting club colours, the stadium integrates modern stands with a concrete structure, accessible ramps, and terraces including an 800‑seat standing area for ultras. The main stand uses glass and steel, and the whole arena adheres to UEFA Category 2/3 standards including floodlights and media infrastructure.

What is “Easi Arena”?

Named for Easi, a Belgian IT services firm founded by RAAL president Curaba, the stadium’s naming rights run through 2030. Easi’s partnership aligns club ambition with regional business support and reflects a shared vision of innovation and community.
