Stade Maurice Dufrasne, also known as Stade de Sclessin, is one of Belgium’s most recognizable football stadiums. Its compact structure, steep stands and close connection between the seats and the pitch create the feeling of a true football amphitheatre, while a capacity of around 27,000 places gives the venue a powerful yet highly concentrated matchday atmosphere.
Inside the stadium, the main strength is the atmosphere: the stands are arranged in a way that allows the sound of the crowd to fill the venue quickly, making Stade Maurice Dufrasne especially impressive for high-intensity football matches and major sporting events. Visitors can expect a classic stadium experience with clearly organized sections, entrances and basic food and drink options, in a setting that values supporter energy more than the polished feel of a luxury arena.
The venue is located at Rue de la Centrale 2, Liège, Belgium, in the Sclessin area, where access to the stadium is usually linked to specific stands and entrance gates. On event days, arriving early is advisable, especially by car, as parking and traffic arrangements around the stadium may vary depending on the match organization.
