Stade Municipal (Saint-Estève)
History
Built in 1965 for the use of new rugby league club AS Saint-Estève the stadium then as now has two stands along the side of the pitch with open ends behind the sticks with a perimeter fence and floodlights. In 1985 the ground received a refurbishment which included the building of a fitness room along with new changing rooms. When AS Saint-Estève merged with XIII Catalan the new club Union Treiziste Catalane or as they were also known UTC played some matches at the ground over the next six years.
