Opened in 1897 and rebuilt twice, Paris Saint-Germain's home, the Parc des Princes, underwent its most significant modern rebirth for UEFA Euro 2016. The renovation dramatically upgraded seating, hospitality areas, and technical infrastructure while maintaining its distinctive oval shape and close-to-pitch seating. This thoughtful modernization transformed it into a contemporary, premium venue suitable for a global football powerhouse. It seamlessly blends its deep history as a cycling velodrome and French national stadium with the demands of modern European club football.
