The Parc des Princes is one of the most emblematic stadiums in France and European football. Located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, this stadium is the home of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) since 1974. Its original inauguration dates back to 1897, but it was completely renovated in 1972, with a modernist design by architect Roger Taillibert, who gave the stadium its distinctive structure with curves and undulating roofs. Currently, it has a capacity for 48,712 spectators.
One of the most notable characteristics of Parc des Princes is its intimate atmosphere, thanks to the stands being very close to the pitch, creating a vibrant environment in every match. In addition, the stadium has witnessed historic moments both at club and national team levels. It was a key venue in events such as the 1984 European Championship, where France won its first major title, and also hosted matches of the 1998 World Cup.
In addition to being a temple of football, Parc des Princes has been the stage for memorable concerts by world-renowned artists such as Michael Jackson and U2. Its significance not only lies in sport, but also in its cultural influence and its ability to adapt to events of various kinds.
Among the curiosities, Parc des Princes is very close to the Stade Jean-Bouin, another sports venue in Paris, and its name refers to the gardens and hunting grounds that were located in that area during the 18th century. Today, it remains a symbol of sport and culture in Paris, and a pilgrimage site for football fans.
