Stade Marcel-Verchère, Rugby stadium in Bourg-en-Bresse, France
The Stade Marcel-Verchère features two playing fields, with the main ground accommodating 11,400 spectators and containing modern hybrid grass technology.
The stadium opened its doors in 1917 and underwent substantial modifications in 1940, serving as a central sports facility through different periods of French history.
The stadium received its name from Marcel Verchère, a local rugby player who died following a match incident against Oyonnax in September 1937.
Located at 11 Avenue des Sports, the stadium serves as home ground for both Union Sportive Bressane rugby team and Football Bourg-en-Bresse Péronnas 01.
