Stadiums and sports facilities Pas-De-Calais

Flagship and emblem of the region, the Bollaert-Delelis stadium, all in white, rises in the heart of the mining basin like a phoenix rising from its ashes. Built in 1932, this stadium has been given a facelift and has seen a lot for Euro 2016! It bears the name of two personalities who have marked the history of the city. Félix Bollaert, director of the Compagnie des Mines de Lens and André Delelis, mayor of the city from 1966 to 1998, who allowed Lens to become the owner of its stadium. Today, it can accommodate up to 38,000 people.

Since the old Léo-Lagrange stadium was bombed during the War, the well-appointed Stadium de la Libération was inaugurated in 1952. Den de l'USCBO, it is also known for hosting Calais during the race of France 2000 and a few matches of the France Hope football team. Its latest renovation dates back to 2009 and the climb of Boulogne in L 1.
