History[edit]
Built and opened in 1955 for the primary use of the local rugby league team US Villeneuve XIII the stadium was back then called Myre Mory Stadium named after a local soldier who fought in World War I and was killed during World War II in 1940. Situated on the left bank of the River Lot and near to the Lycee Georges Leygues the stadium was given a major refurbishment in 2011. As well as the stadium upgrade an indoor arena was built. At the same time the whole sports complex was renamed in honour of former rugby league legend Max Rousie, a former SA Villeneuve XIII player and French international. The stadium currently caters for rugby league, athletics, basketball, tennis and pelote basque as well as having two training pitches and floodlights.[1]
