Key facts<\/h3>\n

Club: Amiens SC | Opening: 1999 | Capacity: 12,097 seats<\/p>\n

History and description<\/h3>\n

Stade de la Licorne officially opened on 24 July 1999 with the French Super Cup match between Nantes and Bordeaux (1-0), though Johnny Hallyday had already given an inauguration concert a few weeks earlier.<\/p>\n

Stade de la Licorne\u00a0replaced Amiens’ old Stade Moulonguet, which had fallen into a state of disrepair, and these days hosts the Amiens reserve team. It became once more the home of Amiens in 2016 when Stade de la Licorne was unavailable due to repair works on the glass roof.<\/p>\n

The capacity of the stadium could easily be expanded to 20,000 seats if Amiens were to achieve promotion to Ligue 1.<\/p>\n

Lens made the stadium their home during the 2014-15 season while their Stade Bollaert Delelis<\/a> got redeveloped for the Euros 2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n
