Cette rue mène au stade Edmond Machtens, anciennement appelé Stade du Daring, ou plus longuement “Stade du club du Racing White Daring de Molenbeek”. Le nom fait référence au complexe multi-sports créé en 1919-1920 par le Daring Club de Bruxelles ; il comportait, entre autres, un stade de football et d'athlétisme que la vox populi a appelé 'stade du Daring' (remark in French, as published)
