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.

How to get to Stade Bollaert-Delelis
The stadium is located in the heart of Lens, a compact post-industrial city in the Pas-de-Calais department. Lens train station (Gare de Lens) is roughly a 15-minute walk from the ground and is served by regional TER trains connecting to Lille (around 30 minutes) and Arras. The stadium is easily walkable from the town centre, and street parking is available in the surrounding residential streets.
Getting to Stade Bollaert-Delelis
Stade Bollaert-Delelis sits within the town of Lens, and its central location makes it straightforward to reach on foot from the town centre and nearby railway station. Lens is well connected by train, including direct services from Lille and links onward from Paris, so many fans choose to travel by rail and walk the short distance to the ground. Drivers can reach Lens via the surrounding motorway network, though parking near the stadium is limited on busy matchdays, so arriving early and using local car parks or public transport is advisable.
