History
[edit]This stadium hosted the final of the first edition of the French Football Cup, on 5 May 1918. It was played between Olympique de Pantin and FC Lyon and ended with a victory for Olympique de Pantin (3-0). This site is one of the seven Parisian stadiums which hosted the final of the Coupe de France. The others are the Parc des Princes, the Bergeyre stadium, the Pershing stadium, the Yves-du-Manoir Olympic stadium in Colombes, the Paris (Bauer) stadium in Saint-Ouen, and the Stade de France in Saint-Denis.
The only indication that the stadium once stood in this location is a commemorative plaque erected in 2018.[1]
