The Centre sportif Bois-de-Boulogne is a soccer centre situated in the city of Laval, a suburb of Montreal, in the province of Quebec in Canada.
The centre has six outdoor grounds (in the official dimensions of FIFA), among which two use synthetic turf. One of its grounds possesses terraces that can accommodate 1,000 supporters.
On January 30, 2025, the Montreal Roses FC announced that they would play their inaugural season in the NSL at Centre Sportif Bois-de-Boulogne. [1] The venue will have a capacity of 5,581 spectators and will serve as the primary home of the Montréal Roses. It will also be available for other events. This is the first stadium in Canada specifically designed to meet the needs of a women's professional soccer team. [2]
The building is completely made out of wood, with nine immense wooden arcs which establish the main part of the structure offer an immense free space. These arcs have a reach of 72 metres and rise up to 20 metres off the ground and represent an architectural feature. [3] During the cold season of the winter, with the permanent indoor ground, an outside synthetic ground near the building is covered with a heated air-supported dome. [4] [5]
The Centre sportif Bois-de-Boulogne possesses the other installations, some of which are a physical conditioning room and two indoor gymnasiums. Volleyball and badminton can be practiced in them. The staff of the centre include athletes and trainers. Several other services are offered: sports therapy, physiotherapy, sports camps for young boys and girls. It was one of the first major sports facilities in Quebec to integrate geothermal heating for energy efficiency. [6]
The sports complex welcomes several tournaments of provincial and national level, besides being the permanent residence of the now defunct Laval Comets [7] in the W-League.
The Centre sportif Bois-de-Boulogne of Laval also contains the offices of various local soccer associations, [8] and those of the Fédération de soccer du Québec. [9]
