Stade de la Libération (French pronunciation: [stad də la libeʁɑsjɔ̃]) is a multi-use stadium in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of US Boulogne. The stadium was renovated in 2007, and its capacity increased to 15,034; the official record attendance is 15,242.[1]
As a result of war damage, the team had to play on a sloping field for several years, and for a time the club reverted to amateur status. The stadium, being begun in 1949, was completed in 1952.[2], and significantly expanded in 2007. The stadium also houses an athletics track, which was renewed in 2024.[3]
