Parc des Princes

Club: Paris Saint-Germain FC

Opening: 1972

Capacity: 48,527 seats

Parc de Princes was built to provide the city of Paris with a modern venue for important rugby and football matches. The stadium replaced the old Vélodrome, that had stood in its place since 1897.

Paris Saint-Germain’s new ownership initially contemplated a large expansion or even rebuilding of the stadium, however have since decided to postpone major redevelopments until after the European Championships. Instead, the stadium will only receive a minor refurbishment, leaving capacity as it is.
