Stade de France Pict

In its inaugural year France’s national stadium, the Stade de France, witnessed inarguably its greatest triumph; a 3-0 World Cup final victory over Brazil in the summer of 1998. The grand precedent set in that first year of use has been continued as the massive, 80,000-seat stadium has routinely hosted world-class sporting events and performances. Over the last decade or so the Stade de France has been the site for dozens of international soccer matches, a Rugby World Cup and concerts by The Rolling Stones, Madonna and Paul McCartney among others. This year is no different, as the impressive stadium situated on the outskirts of metropolitan Paris plays host to a wide variety of events and performances worthy of the spectacular structure.

Visitors wishing to get an intimate view of a modern European football stadium can participate in daily tours at the famous stadium. Tours take guests into the locker room, up in the VIP stand and even on to the green grass of the pitch. Those looking to get a feel for the stadium when it’s packed with passionate French soccer fans are in luck this fall as the stadium play host to two matches of the French national soccer team, by far the most beloved sports team in the country. L’equipe de France will square off with Romania on September 5th and Austria on the 14th of October. Guests looking for a bit of culture with their stadium experience should book a ticket for the performance of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony on September 26th. The show will include 200 artists on scene, including a staggering 90 musicians.
