Stade Borne de l'Espoir is a multi-use stadium near Lille, France, that is currently being planned. Once completed in 2010, it will be used mostly for football matches and will host the home matches of Lille OSC. The stadium will have a capacity of 50,000 people. It replaces their current temporary stadium Stadium Lille-Metropole and their previous permanent stadium Stade Grimonprez Jooris.
