Stade Amédée-Prouvost

Stade Amédée-Prouvost, Municipal stadium in Wattrelos, France

Stade Amédée-Prouvost is a former stadium in Wattrelos, Nord, built between 1923 and 1927 on the initiative of Albert Prouvost, patron of the peignage and sponsor of FC Roubaix. Its first grandstand held 2,000 covered seats, and the ground also hosted tennis, boules, gymnastics, table tennis and basketball. Only a wasteland remained by 2011; since 2012 the site has held a sports facility for young people.

The stadium was built in 1923 and opened in 1927, first serving as home ground for FC Roubaix. It later hosted the merged Excelsior Roubaix team and became an important venue for regional sports events.

The stadium bore the name of Albert Prouvost, the Roubaix wool-combing industrialist who financed its construction in 1923 and later presided over the Club olympique Roubaix-Tourcoing. The ground stood at the centre of a Prouvost company complex, with a canteen, works facilities and housing for workers and their families. Since 2012 the street named after the stadium has housed "la boîte à musique", which hosts cultural events tied to Lille.

The stadium no longer exists: since 2011 only a wasteland remained, and in 2012 a sports area for young people replaced it on the same street, rue du Stade Amédée-Prouvost. A new swimming pool for Wattrelos, approved by the Lille metropolitan council in 2025, is planned on the site for opening in 2029.

The stadium hosted the finish of the 1929 Paris-Roubaix, on a cinder track unsuited to cycling. Leader Georges Ronsse slipped and broke his wheel in the final sprint, Charles Meunier won, and the crowd invaded the track, cancelling the sprint for fourth place. The press was so critical that the race never returned.
