Yves-du-Manoir Stadium

Located in the town of Colombes, just outside Paris, the Olympic Yves‑du‑Manoir Stadium is far more than a sports venue: it is a true landmark of French and Olympic sporting heritage. Easily accessible from the capital, it is a must‑see stop for visitors eager to discover a different side of Paris Region, where history, sport and the legacy of the Olympic Games come together.

A historic sporting landmark in the Hauts‑de‑Seine area

Built in the early 20th century, the stadium made history by hosting the 1924 Olympic Games, establishing the Île‑de‑France as an Olympic land long before Paris 2024. One hundred years later, the venue reconnected with this exceptional legacy by welcoming the field hockey events of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, creating a rare link between two landmark chapters of world sporting history.

A legendary venue for sports lovers, the stadium is synonymous with unforgettable achievements. It hosted a FIFA World Cup final in 1938, nearly 250 international matches across several sports, 42 French Cup finals, 79 matches played by the French national football team, and more recently around one hundred rugby matches by Racing 92, before the club moved to Paris La Défense Arena.
