About

Stade Jules Deschaseaux (French pronunciation: [stad ʒyl deʃazo]) is a multi-purpose stadium in Le Havre, France. It has been used mostly for football matches for most of its existence as the former home of Le Havre AC. The stadium is able to hold 16,400 people and was built in 1932. It hosted one match at the 1938 FIFA World Cup between Czechoslovakia and the Netherlands. In 2012, it was replaced by the newly constructed Stade Océane. The ground is now used by the rugby section of Havre Athlétique Club.
