New Lausanne-Sport stadium opens in Switzerland

Saturday 5th December 2020

Swiss side Lausanne-Sport have officially opened their new stadium, known as Stade de la Tuiliere.

The new stadium has taken 3 years to build and has cost around £65m. The ground features a safe standing section giving it a capacity of 12,544, which reduces to 12,000 in all-seater mode.

The first game saw Lausanne-Sport go down to a 3-0 defeat to BSC Young Boys.

A short video of the new stadium can be seen on Twitter:
