The Stade de France, a large-scale event venue managed by GL Events, has established itself as a major reference for professional events in Paris, particularly on the MICE, sport and esport segments.
Built for the 1998 football World Cup, it was designed from the outset as a multi-purpose venue capable of hosting a wide variety of events: international competitions, major shows, corporate conferences, strategic seminars and product launches.
With some 80 000 seats, it is the largest venue in France and ranks among the top international event venues. Over the years, it has hosted several hundred major events attracting millions of participants and consolidating its status as a world-class venue.
For MICE planners, the venue offers a full range of modular spaces for private hire including elegant reception rooms, boxes with a view of the pitch, an equipped auditorium, a restaurant with panoramic views and bespoke immersive experiences. This diverse offering makes it possible to design hybrid and innovative events tailored to the challenges in the business of sport and esports today.
Situated within close proximity to Paris and accessible in just a few minutes from the city centre via an efficient transport network, the Stade de France is strategically located for national and international organizers and participants.
As a meeting point for sport, innovation and business, this iconic venue transcends its original purpose to become a real driving force for engagement and visibility for high-value-added event projects.
