Stade Moulonguet, Football stadium in Amiens, France
Stade Moulonguet is a football ground on Rue Louis Thuillier in Amiens, with a single covered grandstand along one side. The stand has three blocks of tiered seats, grey on the outside and green in the centre, where a sign reads "ESPACE PARTENAIRES"; a flat dark roof on thin posts covers it, two floodlight poles rise behind, and a green wire fence runs in front of the pitch.
The stadium opened on December 4, 1921, when Amiens AC played its first match against AS Française, winning 2-1 in a cup competition. Over the following years, it became an important center for local football as the club gained strength and fans grew in number.
The stadium was renamed Stade Moulonguet in 1931, the year Dr Albert Moulonguet stepped down as Amiens AC president because of his advanced age. He had handled the 1920 rental of the grounds from the Hospices d'Amiens administration, of which he was a member, after the USFSA Picardy committee that had leased them since 1912 was dissolved.
The ground sits on Rue Louis Thuillier in the Henriville district, on land the club began renting in 1920 from the Hospices d'Amiens administration. The covered stand holds 1,700 seats, split into grey outer blocks and a central green block marked "ESPACE PARTENAIRES". The pitch is enclosed by a green wire fence, and the reserve team plays its home matches here.
The record crowd at Moulonguet came in February 1936, when 7,000 watched Amiens AC play FC Rouen. After the professional section folded in 1937, gates fell to 300–500 regulars until professionalism returned in 1945. The ground was requisitioned during the First World War by the British army, which used it for a camouflage service.
