CONSTANT VANDEN STOCK STADIUM

Brussels, Belgium

Constant Vanden Stock Stadium (French: Stade Constant Vanden Stock, Dutch: Constant Vanden Stockstadion) is a football stadium in the municipality of Anderlecht, Brussels. It is home to R.S.C. Anderlecht.

It is in 1917 that Anderlecht installed on the border of Parc du Meir / Meirpark (later Astrid Park), in a new stadium they built (with only one stand made of wood). They called it Émile Versé Stadium in the name of a generous patron. Later, concrete stands were set up. Though, in 1983, the stadium was completely rebuilt and took the name of the president Constant Vanden Stock. Its capacity was decreased to 28,063 (1,583 of which in business seats and 406 in V.I.P. boxes). There are still standup places behind the two goals but during European competitions, the stadium is all-seated (decreasing capacity). In 2010 the son of Constant Vanden Stock announced together with R.S.C.A.'s manager Herman Van Holsbeeck that the club is going to build a third ring[1] which would allow the maximum capacity go up to 30,000. These works should be completely finished in 2013.
