The Stade Justin Peeters,[2] (formerly the Justin Peeters Stadium) is a former football stadium located in Wavre near Brussels, Belgium and the former homeground of Racing Jet Wavre, that had come over the years to be found in the northeast of the city center under the significant address Avenue du Center Sportif. In 2021 the city converted it to a hockey field.
The stadium contains two football stands that are located on either sides of itself, which is enough to host a football match with up to hundreds of spectators, of which also allows for the undeveloped space behind the goals to not go into further disrepair. When this stadium hosts matches, the main grandstand within here would be raised up, providing up to 15 football seats without backrests. Within the main grandstand, specifically in the interior, there is a dressing room, and the cab from the club is little more than can follow the game. The opposite stands are built of wooden benches, are not accessible and it is probably better that way. A renovation is urgently needed because it makes a very worn-out impression. In the meantime, the opposite stands are temporarily used for advertising purposes, to set up a few billboards. Moreover, one can admire the character of the host club on the roof.
