As the organizor of 1998 Soccer World Cup, Paris needed a world class
stadium in addition to 45000 seats Parc
des Princes near Bois de Boulogne.
The Stade de France (right), looking like a flying saucer, can
accomodate 80 000 people and is the venue for all kinds of sports and cultural
events.
The Stade de France was inaugurated on January 28th 1988 with a
France/Spain soccer game.
It was the venue of France 98 World Soccer Cup final on July 12th 1998
(France wins 3/0 over Brazil) and 2007 Rugby World Cup final on October 20th
2007 (South Africa wins 15/6 over England).
The Stade de France is located a few kilometers north of Paris in
Saint-Denis. Saint-Denis is known for its beautiful 12th century cathedral, the
burial place of the kings of France.
