Stade Pierre de Coubertin (Paris)

History

Stade Pierre de Coubertin was opened in 1937, for the Universal Exposition, and it was rebuilt after the bombing that occurred during the Second World War. The stadium was used as a detention centre during the Paris massacre of 1961. In 1990, the arena underwent a renovation, which included a new façade, expansion of its seating capacity, and the addition of various service areas.

In addition to previously being the home arena of the basketball teams Paris BR, Levallois Sporting Club, and Paris-Levallois, each year the Stade Pierre de Coubertin also hosts various sporting events, such as the fencing Grand Prix: Challenge International de Paris (in January) and the Challenge Monal (in February), the Open Gaz de France women's tennis tournament, and the Internationaux de France de Badminton.{{cite web |title= Les Internationaux de France de Badminton 2022 au stade Pierre de Coubertin |url=https://www.sortiraparis.com/loisirs/sport/articles/41664-les-internationaux-de-france-de-badminton-2022-au-stade-pierre-de-coubertin |website=sortiraparis.com |language=fr |access-date=24 October 2022}}
