Stade Charles Tondreau, football stadium
The Stade Charles Tondreau is a multi-purpose sports venue in Mons with a capacity of around 12,600 seats and is used mainly for football matches and rugby events. The stadium features simple, functional concrete stands, floodlights for evening games, a modern double-decked east side, and some older sections awaiting renovation.
The stadium opened in 1910, just months after the local team was created, and initially had only a few hundred spectators at opening matches. Over the century, it has hosted numerous local games and undergone structural changes, with recent renovations to improve facilities.
The stadium is a gathering place for local sports fans and team supporters in the community. People in Mons know the venue well and have accumulated many memories of matches there.
The stadium is located on Avenue du Tir and is easy to reach by car or public transport. Visitors should know that floodlights make evening games possible and that staff are available to assist people with limited mobility.
The first match at the stadium was watched by only 300 spectators, marking its humble beginning as a local sports facility. This opening was notably swift because the original construction was straightforward due to the venue's modest size.
