Edmond Machtens Stadium

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Edmond Machtens Stadium is a football stadium located in the municipality of Molenbeek in Brussels, Belgium. It is the home of F.C. Molenbeek Brussels Strombeek since the 2003 merge between R.W.D. Molenbeek and K.F.C. Strombeek. Prior to this it was the home of RWDM. It was formerly known as the Oscar Bossaert Stadium and was used for matches of the Belgium national football team during the 1920s.

The stadium comprises three stands: one behind a goal with only stand-up places, and the other two are seated and located along the ground. Behind the second goal is a tree row that darkns the field in a special way. There is also 622 places in the business-seats. In 2005 the stand 2 was renamed stand Raymond Goethals in memory of the former player of the club.
