In 2024, no Six Nations Tournament or French Cup at the Stade de France! Due to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the mythical stadium in Saint-Denis will not be able to host any competitions or concerts until the fall. Works of compliance are indeed carried out in the enclosure, so that it is ready in time for the most important international competition for the capital for years, according to RMC Sport.
This is the first time that the French Rugby Federation has been deprived of its stadium to host the European rugby tournament. The soccer federation is also affected, and the authorities will have to find a solution quickly, with stadiums large enough to accommodate such a public. In rugby, France-Italy, France-Ireland and France-England will have to be relocated, most likely to Lyon and Marseille. The federations, which are under contract with the Stade de France, will be compensated.
Parisians, who are usually privileged to attend sports competitions, will have to travel in 2024 to see soccer and rugby. So enjoy the last concerts, like Beyoncé's, and the team sports matches at the Stade de France, because you won't see any more for a while!
