SAINT-DENIS, FRANCE : Aerial View of Stade de France, the most popular sport stadium in France near Paris.

For the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Stade de France, the country’s largest stadium, will transform into the Olympic Stadium after three decades of hosting France’s biggest sports events. Built in Saint-Denis, the Stade de France was designed by the architects Macary, Zublena, Regembal and Costantini. It was created for the Football World Cup held in France in 1998.

Since the World Cup, this multi-sports arena, which is still the country’s largest stadium, has continued to host the biggest sporting events organised in France, from the World Athletics Championships in 2003 to the 2007 Rugby World Cup and the Euro 2016 Football Championship, which will be followed soon by the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Each year, it stages the matches of the French football and rugby teams, as well as some of the biggest concerts by French and international artists.
