The stadium's capacity exceeds the total number of inhabitants of the town of Guingamp by over 10,000 people.
The name 'Roudourou' comes from the Breton word 'roudour', meaning a ford or crossing point.
The stadium was built primarily through the efforts and funding of local volunteers and the club's association in the late 1980s.
It has hosted international matches, including a qualifying game for the UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
The facility is one of the few stadiums in professional French football where the local community maintains a deep, direct historical ownership stake.
The stadium was famously expanded in the late 1990s following the club's rise to the top tier of French football.
Stade de Roudourou is the home stadium of the professional football club En Avant Guingamp, located in the town of Guingamp, Brittany, France. With a seating capacity of approximately 18,500, it is notably large relative to the town's small population, creating an intense atmosphere during home matches. The stadium features four distinct stands, including the Kop Rouge, which houses the club's most fervent supporters. The playing surface is natural grass and has been frequently upgraded to maintain professional standards. The stadium was originally inaugurated in 1990 and has undergone several renovations to modernize its facilities. It serves as a central social and cultural hub for the local community. The venue is fully compliant with modern safety and UEFA regulations for hosting competitive football matches.
