Parc des Princes is an iconic venue in French sporting history, located in the City of Light’s 16th district. It stands out in the Porte de Saint-Cloud landscape with its iconic concrete columns that crown its roof. Built in its current form in 1972 and designed by architect Roger Taillibert (the man behind the design of Montreal’s Olympic Stadium), the “Parc” is ideally positioned to host the Paris 2024 Games.
In addition to being the home of Paris Saint-Germain since 1974, the Parc des Princes has staged matches for the French national football and rugby teams, as well as major international competitions including the 1998 Football World Cup and the Euro 2016 Football Championship, alongside concerts by French and global stars. The 47,929 all-seater stadium also staged the finals of the Coupe de France for football and the French rugby union championship each year. Its most recent renovation was carried out for Euro 2016.
Legacy
After the Paris 2024 Games, the Parc des Princes will continue to be the home of Paris Saint Germain, in addition to staging concerts.
