The Stade Bollaert-Delelis was opened in 1933 and originally named after Félix Bollaert, the director of Compagnie des Mines de Lens. Later in 2012, those responsible decided to rename the stadium to Stade Bollaert-Delelis in order to also pay tribute to the late André Delelis, the former Minister of Commerce. The stadium, which serves as home ground to the football team RC Lens, holds 41,229 spectators, which means that every single citizen of Lens could get a seat in the arena.

The stadium consists of four individual stands which are not connected via side stands. This is known as “English Style”.
