About Stade Bollaert-Delelis
Stade Bollaert-Delelis was built in 1932 and opened the same year, constructed on land donated by a local mining company — a reflection of Lens's deep industrial roots in the coal-mining region of Pas-de-Calais. Named after Félix Bollaert, a director of the Mines de Lens, it was later renamed to also honour André Delelis, a former mayor of the city. The stadium hosted three group-stage matches and a quarter-final during the 1998 FIFA World Cup, and returned to the international stage for UEFA Euro 2016. A significant renovation programme in the 2010s brought the ground up to modern standards, including expanded seating and improved facilities ahead of Euro 2016.
Bollaert-Delelis is renowned for generating one of the most intense atmospheres in French football. The Sang et Or (Blood and Gold) faithful, many with generations of mining heritage behind them, create a wall of noise that regularly rivals stadiums far larger. The compact, steep stands — particularly the Virage Nord — keep the roar close to the pitch, giving visiting teams a formidable reception on matchdays.
Set in Lens, Stade Bollaert-Delelis holds roughly 38,223 spectators and delivers a matchday and concert experience that draws crowds from across the region. Browse upcoming events below and buy with confidence on Staadly.
