Did you know: from the center of Paris (more precisely the Châtelet-les Halles station), it takes twice as long to get to the Parc des Princes (37 minutes by metro) than at the Stade de France (8 minutes of RER and 15 minutes of walking). Currently, the Home's home of the Blues is no longer the enclosure of Saint-Denis inaugurated on January 28, 1998 a few months from the World Cup in France.
It is at the Parc des Princes that players Didier Deschamps receive their three opponents as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Winner of Ukraine (0-2), last Friday, the vice-world champions hope to chain in the lair of PSG, this Tuesday (kick for 8:45 p.m., live on TF1), facing Iceland. France-Azerbaijan and France-Ukraine, on October 10 and November 13, will also be held at the Park.
The Blues did not definitely leave the homeless-where Zinedine Zidane offered the first World Cup to France-to return to the Parc des Princes-the lawn that saw Michel Platini and his teammates raise the Euro 1984 trophy. The FFF did not find an agreement with the new dealer of the Stade de France, GL Events, for the holding of the French team in Saint-Denis.
The French team in Saint-Denis from time to time?
The FFF and GL Events have been discussing for many months for the organization of tricolor selection matches at the Stade de France for the next three decades. No agreement has been reached and for good reason. The Fed does not want a deal similar to that passed with the Vinci-Bouygues consortium, with a minimum of four matches in Saint-Denis and an estimated rent between 7 and 8 million euros net.
The leaders of the “3F” agree to evolve at the Stade de France in front of 80,000 people but “On a case -by -case basis”as indicated The team. The Blues would thus play their big matches in the 93 and the less attractive meetings in other major stadiums in France (the Vélodrome, the OL Park, the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, the Parc des Princes or the Beaujoire).
