Stade de Genève (Stadium of Geneva), also called Stade de la Praille, is a stadium in Lancy, Canton of Geneva. It has a capacity of 30,084.[3]

Overview

[edit]
Portugal vs Croatia, 10 June 2013

The stadium was completed in 2003 by Zschokke Construction S.A.[4] after nearly three years of construction. Normally the home venue of Geneva's Servette FC, a Swiss football team, the stadium hosted international friendlies between Argentina and England on 12 November 2005, which England won 3–2 and between New Zealand and Brazil on 4 June 2006, which Brazil won 4–0. The venue played host to three group-stage matches for Group A during UEFA Euro 2008.[citation needed]

A memorable match Turkey-Czech Republic was played in this stadium. The stadium was also used for rugby union, with a 2006–07 Heineken Cup clash between Bourgoin and Munster being moved from Bourgoin's home ground.[citation needed]

In the summer of 2016 the stadium was equipped with heated hybrid turf, Mixto Hybrid Grass by Limonta Sport to cater the needs of football and rugby clubs of Servette.[5] Installation of the new turf prevented Servette FC from playing home on the first three rounds of the 2016–17 Swiss Challenge League.[6]
