Its capacity was 30,000 for Euro 2000 but was reduced shortly after to 25,000 in line with Charleroi's average attendances. The capacity was reduced again in 2013 to 15,000.

The future of this structure of Charleroi is in doubt as the club plans to move to a brand new stadium in the periphery of the city.
