Stadium Information
Parc des Princes, home of Paris Saint-Germain, is one of the most iconic football stadiums in Europe
and a defining landmark of Parisian sport. Opened in its current form in 1972 on the site of earlier
venues, the stadium sits in the southwest of Paris near the périphérique and is renowned for its
distinctive concrete roof and steep, continuous tiers. Designed to bring supporters close to the
pitch, the bowl creates excellent sightlines and powerful acoustics. With a capacity of just under
forty-eight thousand, the stadium features a natural grass surface and a compact footprint that
intensifies the matchday experience. Matchdays at the Parc des Princes combine spectacle with edge.
Supporters gather across nearby boulevards and cafés before filling the stands, with the Auteuil and
Boulogne ends shaping much of the noise and visual displays. The stadium’s architecture traps sound
effectively, producing a sharp, pressurised atmosphere that rises quickly for big European nights.
Facilities are modernised within a historic shell, offering efficient concourses, improved seating
and a strong range of food and drink options. The stadium is well connected by Paris Métro lines,
including Porte de Saint-Cloud and Porte d’Auteuil, alongside bus routes and major road access.
Parking is limited, making public transport the preferred choice. Accessibility features include
step-free routes, lifts, wheelchair platforms, adapted toilets and dedicated assistance services.
The surrounding area includes sports complexes, parks and residential streets that frame the
approach to the ground. For Paris Saint-Germain, the Parc des Princes remains a fortress and a
symbol of the club’s identity, history and ambitions on the European stage.
