French top-flight side Montpellier will move into a new 25,000-seat stadium no later than 2021, the city's mayor announced. Montpellier mayor Philippe Saurel confirmed to AFP that local authorities are "working on the project of a new football stadium" that will be ready by 2020 or 2021.

The planned stadium will be majority owned by the local government, which is working on a budget of up to 130 million euros (£103m; $149m) for its construction. Montpellier, who won the Ligue 1 title for the first time in their history in 2012 and are set to finish this season in mid-table, currently play at the 35,000-seat Stade de la Mosson.
