About

The Parc des Sports de Sauclières is a football and rugby stadium located in Béziers, France.

History: With a capacity of 12,000 seats (8,000 seats), it hosted meetings of the Association Sportive de Béziers Hérault, the rugby club at XV of the city, and the Association Sportive de Béziers, the city's football club, until 1989 and the construction of the stadium of the Mediterranean. It was also the scene of a final of the French rugby championship at XV, that 17 April 1921 between the Perpignanes USA and the Toulouse Stadium (5-0). It is now used by XV rugby clubs of lower divisions, by the football team of the Avenir Sportif Béziers and has hosted in the past rugby matches to XIII. It should be noted that this stage gave a nickname to an AS Béziers coach, Raoul Barrière, who was called the "Sorcerer of Sauclières" in the late 1970s. Due to the outdated infrastructure, capacity was reduced to 2,004 places.
