Stade Yves-Jaguin, Football stadium in Pabu, France
Stade Yves-Jaguin was a football ground in the Montbareil district of Pabu, next to Guingamp. Its flat grass pitch, mown in horizontal stripes, was bordered on one side by a low concrete wall and stepped concrete terracing; a covered grandstand with a flat roof, grey supports and red seating ran along the far side. The stadium was demolished in 2019.
The stadium opened in 1921 and served as the home ground for the local football club for many decades. It was renamed in 1947 to honor Yves Jaguin, a club leader who played an important role in its development.
The ground long carried the name of its Montbareil district in Pabu before being renamed in 1947 after Yves Jaguin, club president from 1943 to 1945, who had pushed for the team to settle there in 1922. Supporters' stands were wooden benches under a roof covering the whole main stand, which also housed the changing rooms.
The stadium stood in the Montbareil district of Pabu, next to housing that constrained its covered terraces. It closed in 2016 and was demolished in 2019, when a housing estate replaced it, so there is nothing left to visit; the site can only be located by its coordinates near Guingamp.
The record crowd of 11,500 came in the 1983-84 season, when Guingamp beat SC Abbeville 3-1 in the Coupe de France. A year later, in 1985, a fence collapsed under the weight of supporters during a match against Stade rennais, injuring several spectators.
