Since 2007, the stadium has undergone substantial improvements to enable it to host Ligue 1 matches.{{cite news|title=Ajaccio a ses subventions|url=http://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-sport/2011/06/24/97003-20110624FILSPO00555-ajaccio-a-ses-subventions.php|accessdate=27 June 2011|newspaper=Le Figaro|date=24 June 2011|language=French}}{{cite web|title=Le stade François Coty enfin reconnu d'intérêt général|url=http://infurmazione.unita-naziunale.org/2920/corse-le-stade-francois-coty-enfin-reconnu-dinteret-general/2011/|publisher=Corsica Infurmazione|accessdate=27 June 2011|date=6 June 2011}}
