Stade Sapiac, Rugby stadium in Montauban, France.
Stade Sapiac is a dual-purpose sports facility in Montauban that hosts both rugby matches and cycling events on the same grounds. The main field features modern playing surfaces and is surrounded by spectator seating arranged to provide clear sightlines of the action.
This stadium took shape in the early 1900s on land where clay pits once operated, repurposing the site after the brickmaking industry ended. Its official opening in 1908 marked the beginning of its role as an important sporting venue for the city.
This venue connects deeply with Montauban's rugby passion, serving as a gathering place where fans cheer for local teams that represent the city's sporting identity. The matches shape the social calendar and bring people from across the region together to celebrate shared traditions.
The stadium has no dedicated car park; visitors park on the streets around Sapiac. It is served by lines 1 and 6 of Montauban's Le Bus TM network. Since the 2023-2024 renovation the pitch is synthetic and moved closer to the presidential stand, and the old cycling track is gone.
The cycling track that gave the ground its "cuvette" nickname measured 413.33 m long and 7.20 m wide. Built in 1907, it was renovated in 1978 and 2000, hosted the French track cycling championships in 1973, and was demolished in the 2024 renovation.
