The French Cup final arrived as scheduled.

The final between Paris Saint-Germain and Kwij will be played on a neutral ground.

The Stade de France is the best neutral court.

In 1927, Gaston Dumegue, then President of France, came to the final scene. Since then, the French Cup final has always had the tradition of the French president presenting awards to the French Cup champions in person.

The Elysee Palace, the official residence of the French President, is located on the north side of the Avenue des Elysees in the center of Paris, and the Stade de France is located in the north of Paris. Therefore, for successive French presidents, it is not a waste of time to watch the French Cup final at the Stade de France. After all, they have not even left the capital Paris.

When it comes to the Stade de France, one cannot fail to mention another name - Saint-Denis, because this stadium is located here, in the small town of Saint-Denis just north of Paris, and this is also the location of the stadium chosen by the people of France after careful planning.

(PS: It can also be translated as Saint-Denis or Saint-Denis, because the current domestic translation of Saint-Denis is not uniform. Saint-Denis may be transliterated better, but the French translation of Baidu translation is Saint-Denis, so let’s unify it into Saint-Denis.)
As a small town in the northern suburbs of Paris, the origin of the name of Saint-Denis is to commemorate Saint-Denis who first brought Christian civilization to Paris.

According to a prayer book in the 10th century AD, around 250 AD, that is, in the 2nd century AD, the Christian Saint Denis came to preach in Paris and became the first bishop in Paris history. However, Paris was still in the hands of the Romans, so he was arrested and imprisoned when the Roman Emperor Decius persecuted Christianity. When the Romans felt that their faith was threatened, they beheaded Saint Denis. .

(PS: There is a saying that Montmartre is named after the martyrdom of Saint-Denis here, which means the Latin Mons Martyrum of "The Martyrs' Mountain".)
It is rumored that Saint-Denis stood up suddenly on the second day after he was beheaded. He held his head and preached while walking, and washed his head when he reached a stream, and then walked five miles before falling down and dying. The place where Saint-Denis fell was the place where he was buried, which is the small town of Saint-Denis today.

Therefore, in the eyes of the French, Saint-Denis is the highest saint, and his ideal of "the body can die, but the spirit cannot be profane" has been remembered by later generations.

In the small town, the world's first Gothic church, Saint-Denis Church, is located in the center of the town. Not only did the relics of Saint-Denis remain here, but it was also the royal cemetery of France from the 10th century until the eve of the French Revolution. Since the seventh century, a total of 38 rulers were buried in Saint-Denis, the French royal church, and 21 queens were also buried here. Therefore, as Jane Masenac said, "the emperor rests here, and the descendants multiply."

In addition, the status of Saint-Denis in the hearts of the French people is not only the Saint-Denis Church and the statue of Saint-Denis holding his head in Notre Dame de Paris (PS: I hope that Notre-Dame de Paris can be rebuilt as soon as possible.), His influence on France can also be reflected in the French flag. Banner used for the construction of the Church of St. Denis.

Closer to home, back to the Stade de France, which is also located here.

After France was identified as the host of the 1992 World Cup in July 7, the French government decided to build a new stadium in the capital Paris, a new stadium different from the Parc des Princes, a new stadium that was larger than the Parc des Princes and accommodated more spectators.

It has been more than 70 years since the last time the French built a venue for a specific event was the Château d'Eve Olympic Stadium for the 1924 Olympics.

This time, also considering the importance of the event, the French State Council personally started the construction of the new arena. The official hoped that the stadium would be as close to the capital as possible. However, it took a lot of trouble to choose a site at that time. There was no place in Paris to build such a huge building. Besides, after the stadium was built, there would be a huge parking lot and many auxiliary facilities next to it.

Later, the stadium was finally settled in Saint-Denis, located in the northern suburbs of Paris, because Saint-Denis is the holy land of the French, and it is unparalleled to build a stadium here.

After completing all the preparatory work, the stadium officially started on May 1995, 5. More than half a year after the stadium was built, the French Ministry of Sports took the lead in soliciting and discussing the name of the stadium. Although Saint-Denis was chosen as the site, the French did not name the new stadium Saint-Denis because the name "Saint-Denis" is too old, and it is also the name of an ancient refugee.

At this time, the then Minister of Sports of France, Deruitt, proposed the name "Stade de France", which was used to express that France had been waiting for this event for a very long time, and this happened to coincide with Platini's idea, so the name of the Stade de France came into being, and "France" was used as the name of the new stadium, which not only symbolized the spirit of the entire French nation, but also had a more modern flavor. (PS: There is no meaning of "big" in French. It is specially added in the translations of other countries. It should be used to indicate the number of people and the area of ​​the French Stadium.)
As a modern stadium, the expensive roof of the Stade de France can cover the entire auditorium area. The roof is equipped with 550 headlights and 36 sets of speakers, which is enough to ensure that spectators in any area of ​​the stadium can clearly watch the game and obtain information.

The area near the center of the roof is a colored glass structure to reduce the intensity of natural light, filter infrared light, and better protect the pitch while improving the visual effect.

The 25000 seats in the lower part of the stadium's stands can be moved. When a track and field competition is held, as long as the platform between the lower part and the middle part is lowered, the lower part of the stand can be moved back 15 meters, exposing the track and field track and jumping sports field. However, when it is used as a track and field stadium, the number of seats in the stadium must be reduced by 5000, but no matter what kind of competition it is, the audience in the stadium can watch the game close to the stadium.

The stadium was finally officially completed in January 1998. On the 1th of that month, the first game after the completion was ushered in, a friendly match between France and Spain. In this game, Zidane scored the only goal in the game, which became the first goal in the history of this stadium. The French national team finally won the first official match held at the Stade de France.

Half a year later, still in this stadium, and Zidane was still there, the French superstar led the French national team to lift the first Hercules Cup that the French people have longed for.

Therefore, this new masterpiece of the French people has also witnessed a miraculous moment in the history of French football in such a short history.

In addition to the 1998 World Cup, in international competitions, the stadium also hosted the 2003 Confederations Cup and the World Athletics Championships in the same year, followed by the 2007 Rugby World Cup.

另外，法兰西大球场也曾举办过两次欧冠决赛，包括2000年皇马3：0击败瓦伦西亚的欧冠决赛以及2006年巴萨2：1击败阿森纳的欧冠决赛。
