It also hosted the UEFA Euro 1972 semi-final between Hungary and the Soviet Union, as well as several games of the Belgium national football team.

Until shortly after the First World War, the home games of Royal Sporting Club Anderlecht were played on a football pitch in the Rue Verheyden/Verheydenstraat.

Its capacity was thus decreased to 21,500 seats[2] but it offers more comfort, more security, as well as new VIP areas and a brand new press room.

In 2010, the son of Constant Vanden Stock, Roger, announced together with RSC Anderlecht's manager Herman Van Holsbeeck that the club was going to build a third ring above the two existing ones[9] in order to increase the stadium's capacity to accommodate 30,000 spectators.

After Anderlecht withdrew from the project, the plans for an expansion of its own stadium were eventually also shelved in 2022, due to financial and political reasons.

Rival supporters must stop at Aumale metro station for UEFA Champions League matches due to security measures.

The stadium hosts a former one-star restaurant (Le Saint-Guidon) and a cafeteria, as well as the official club fanshop and ticketing booths.
