Edmond Machtens Stadium, Football stadium in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Belgium.
Edmond Machtens Stadium is a football venue in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean with capacity for roughly 12,266 spectators spread across three stands combining seated and standing sections. The facility includes 622 business seats and separates different groups of spectators during matches through its layout.
The stadium was originally named after Oscar Bossaert and hosted many Belgian national team matches during the 1920s. After World War II, it continued to host significant games, including a friendly against France in 1945.
The stadium serves as the sporting heart of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, where local supporters gather to back RWD Molenbeek with genuine enthusiasm. It remains a focal point for the neighborhood and reflects how deeply football is woven into daily community life.
The stadium is located at Charles Malisstraat 61 and provides different entrance points for spectators based on ticket type and seating section. It helps to check in advance which entry area suits your ticket category and when gates typically open for events.
A row of trees behind one of the goals casts shadows across the pitch and creates shifting light conditions during play. This natural feature gives the field a distinctive character that sets it apart from most other football grounds.
