Named in memory of French rugby player Yves du Manoir in 1928, it was the main stadium for the 1924 Summer Olympics and had a capacity of 45,000 at the time.

[4] During the 1924 games, it hosted the athletics, some of the cycling, some of the horse riding, gymnastics, tennis, some of the football, rugby, and two of the modern pentathlon events (running, fencing).

France's professional football team RC Paris used Colombes as their home ground until about 1985, then moved on to other stadia before returning in the 2010s.

Designed by the architectural firm Celnikier et Grabli Architectes and rebuilt by the construction group Léon Grosse, the work was completed in December 2023.

The legendary main pitch sees its famous Olympic athletics track surrounding it removed in favor of a small 200 m ring (only suitable for warming up) located a few hundred metres away.

The total cost of the project is 101 million euros; this budget was financed by the Hauts-de-Seine department and the Olympic Works Delivery Company (Solidéo).
