The Gérard-Farison sports complex now boasts a new synthetic pitch, replacing the former natural grass field. This T5-rated facility, equipped with lighting, allows for 11-a-side and 8-a-side football, benefiting local clubs, schoolchildren, and neighborhood associations.
The renovation work, carried out from May 18 to September 4, 2026, also included the complete renewal of fences and ball-stop nets.
During the inauguration, the mayor of Saint-Étienne, Régis Juanico, emphasized the essential role of sport in fostering social cohesion and neighborhood engagement. He also paid tribute to Michel Faure, founder and emblematic former president of SUC Terrenoire, who passed away in January 2025. The new pitch now bears his name.
Michel Faure, a passionate educator and a prominent figure in local football, dedicated 40 years of his life to his club. The naming of the synthetic pitch is a significant tribute to his volunteer commitment.
