History
The original stadium was called the Stade Velodrome du Parc des Princes and opened in July 1897 as a velodrome with a 666 -meter-long concrete runway. Director was temporarily Henri Desgrange, editor of the newspaper L'Auto and founder of the Tour de France. In 1900 there the train Cycling World Championships were held. From 1903 to 1967, the Tour de France ended in the Parc des Princes Velodrome. In July 1967, the velodrome was demolished.
Since 1899 football matches were held there, from 1919 also numerous finals at the French Cup. In 1932 it was expanded to a capacity of 45,000 spectators. Some of the great Parisian clubs such as Racing Club (since 1932) and the Stade Français ( since 1945 ) contributed here until the 1960s, play their home games.
After a complete conversion under the auspices of the French architect Roger Taillibert, the stadium was re- opened in 1972.
During the Football World Cup 1998 six meetings were held in this stadium, including the 2-0 preliminary round victory for the German national team against the United States and the match for third place (small finals).
The stadium was already the Football World Cup 1938 venue for three meetings, including the semi-final against Sweden, Hungary ( 5:1).
The Prince Park was the venue for six times European Cup finals. In 1956 here was the finale of the first-in European Cup, the forerunner of today's UEFA Champions League instead.
