New Luxembourg National Stadium Opens

Friday 3rd September 2021

Luxembourg have opened their new national stadium, the 9,000 capacity Stade de Luxembourg.

The stadium staged its first official event on September 1st as the hosts beat Azerbaijan 2-1 in a World Cup 2022 qualifier.

The new stadium cost around €80m to build and replaces the old Josy Barthel Stadium, which will now be demolished. The new ground becomes the home of both football and rugby in Luxembourg. The stadium will also host non-sporting events, with the 9,300 sporting capacity expanded to around 15,000 for concerts.

The new stadium is located to the very south of the city of Luxembourg, close to the A6 motorway.
