Meeting Hauts-de-France Pas-de-Calais

The first meeting was held in 1988, two years after the construction of the Arena Stade Couvert de Liévin to host the 1987 European Athletics Indoor Championships. ^[2]

From 1988 onwards, the meeting was held every year until and including 2006, skipping 2007-2008 and then being held from 2009 to 2012.
