Previously known as Felix Bollaert, the stadium is one of the oldest in France having been built in 1934. Initially it had only one grand stand and a few terraces and could accommodate only 12,000 spectators.
Subsequent changes were made prior to the 1984 European Championships and then before the 1998 World Cup. It is home to club side RC Lens and will be hosting three group stage and one round of 16 match. The stadium was renamed in 2012 after the death of long time mayor of the city – Andre Delelis.
