Stade de Luxembourg

The stadium's design was drawn up by local architectural firm Beng Architectes Associés in conjunction with the Hamburg-based Gerkan, Marg and Partners, and selected from a total of 25 submissions by Luxembourg's Minister of Sport and the Mayor of Luxembourg City in September 2014. The final design and construction plans were approved by a unanimous vote of Luxembourg City councillors on 5 December 2016.^[6]

Initial ground works on the stadium began in March 2017,^[7] with construction work commencing on 21 August 2017,^[8] and an official ground breaking ceremony in the presence of Mayor Lydie Polfer held on 18 September 2017.^[9] Works were due to be completed by October 2019, with an estimated cost, at the beginning of construction, of 61.1 million euros, with 40 million euros to be covered by the Ministry of Sport, and the rest by the Luxembourg City municipality.^[6][10][11] However, due to construction delays, the stadium's completion was initially put back until 2020, before finally being completed in July 2021.^[10][4] Construction costs were revised up to approximately 80 million euros, with the Luxembourg City administration paying for the overrun.^[10]

Due to its location alongside the A6 motorway, the stadium is situated along an east–west axis, in place of the more traditional north–south axis used for stadia.^[12] The stadium is designed to hold a capacity of 9,386 spectators with fully covered seating for sporting events, and can hold up to 15,000 spectators for concerts.^[1] The main grandstand is situated along the south side of the field.^[12] To cope with its dual purpose as a football and rugby venue, as well as hosting occasional concerts, the stadium is equipped with a hybrid grass playing surface.^[1]

The name of the stadium was revealed as the "Stade de Luxembourg" at a press conference in July 2020.^[13] In September 2020, the Luxembourg Chamber of Deputies rejected a petition to amend the name using the Luxembourgish language after it failed to gather the minimum amount of required signatures.^[14]

Since the completion of the Cloche d'Or branch of Luxembourg City's new tramline in July 2024, the stadium is served by the "Stadion" tram terminus.^[15]

A 2,000-space park and ride car park is located next to the stadium's Route d'Esch entrance.^[16]
