history

Before the stadium was built, the area was used as a sports facility by the French armed forces and was called Stade colonel De Fornel . The decision was made to build a new stadium and work began in 1948. On October 9, 1949, the stadium with athletics facilities was opened as the Stade Olympique du Hameau . During the celebrations, the high jumper Papa Gallo Thiam jumped a French national record of 1.99 m in front of 30,000 visitors. From 1960 to 1968 FC Pau used the facility for the first time. In 1983 the area became the property of the city. In 1988 it was renovated for the first time. Section Paloise left the Stade de la Croix du Prince and has played its home games at the Stade du Hameau since 1990. The football club returned in 1991. In 2018 they moved to the new Nouste Camp .

In the 2010s the stadium was renovated and the capacity increased from 13,912 spectators. The cost was initially to 12 million euros estimated. In October 2015 the building permit was obtained and from March 2016 the Tribune Ossau was built in the south behind the gate. In 2017, the Tribune Nord Crédit Agricole Pyrénées Gascogne followed on the other rear side of the gate and the Tribune Est Auchan (now the Tribune Est Terega ) on the eastern long side. The work was finished in November 2017. Since then, the stadium has 18,324 seats. Ultimately, the renovation cost 15.6 million euros. On December 2nd of that year the inauguration ceremony and the first game took place on the converted facility with the game Section Paloise against Union Bordeaux Bègles .

In 1972 the match between United Kingdom and New Zealand (53:19) of the Rugby League World Cup was played at the Stade du Hameau. As part of the U-20 Six Nations 2019, the teams of France and Scotland (42:27) met on February 22nd at the stadium in Pau. The Stade du Hameau also hosted the final of the second highest rugby union league Pro D2 2018/19 . The CA Brive lost to Aviron Bayonnais on May 26, 2019 at 19:21.

FC Pau was promoted to Ligue 2 for the 2020/21 season . The Nouste Camp must first be adapted to the requirements of the French second division and expanded to 4,144 places, which is why FC Pau will compete at the Stade du Hameau in the first half of the season.
