"I won't tolerate any sloppiness. The First World War put an end to the rivalry as neither of the two Stades regained their past glory. A massive fistfight, in which almost all players were involved broke out after just 5 minutes, after a scrum went up and the first rows exploded. Both European giants have maintained a perfect record so far in the competition and will want to win this fixture. The total cost of the stadium was approximately €290 million. The newer giant screens are each composed of 4 423 680 LED (Light Emitting Diode) for a self-made images more fluid, faster, and more particularly bright.

Guazzini stepped down as president in favour of Savare's son Thomas, remaining with the club as honorary president.[7]. In 2005, Guazzini went further and chose to shock the "macho" world of rugby by introducing a pink away jersey, pink being one of the rarest colours used by sports teams. In September 2014, Thomas Savare sisters, Marie and Emmanuelle, who were also shareholders in the Oberthur Fiduciaire group and who opposed the investment, decided to publicise their opposition to the investment, which they considered economically pointless and a bottomless pit. The Red and White established themselves as another powerhouse in 2002 when they won the title, their first since 1939. Five minutes before the end of the Toulouse match, Guazzini announced to the crowd that Stade Français's scheduled home fixture against Biarritz in March 2006 would also be held at Stade de France. The stadium was officially ready for construction following the government's selection of manufacturers, Bouygues, Dumez, and SGE, and the signing of building permits on 30 April 1995. "[24] Reports vary widely as to how much the FFR must spend to rent out the stadium, but estimates range from €3 million[24] to €5 million[25] per match. The primary goal was to renovate the area by building new residential and tertiary sites. [23], In June 2012, FFR announced that it had selected the site for its new ground, tentatively known as Grand Stade FFR. The club thus promoted the Stade Français brand through a line of clothing and spin-off products of all sorts.

During the event, which brought together several thousand people, former Stade Français Paris players were honoured and the club's new goals for the coming 5 years were presented. Even with the lack of a regular league tenant, the stadium's revenue increased greatly in 2007, as it was used extensively during the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France, where it hosted numerous pool matches, a quarterfinal match, both of the semi finals and the final. Faced with the size limits of Stade Jean-Bouin (room for about 10,000 people), and still wishing to develop the club's popularity until they could find a new, bigger home, Guazzini set his sights higher.

By 1998 the team had reached the championship final, and captured their first title since 1908, defeating Perpignan 34 points to 7 at Stade de France.

The safest place for those people was actually inside the stadium and not until after the match did many find out about what had transpired. From the middle of the 2017-2018 season, starting with the teams and players already in place or available on the transfer market, many changes were instituted: starting in April, the new sport project was developed around Heyneke Meyer, former manager of the South African national team. The original Stade Français was founded in 1883. The game was refereed by Pierre de Coubertin and saw Racing win 4–3.[4]. At the time, he stated: "In Paris, no club has ever had so many spectators.

It also hosted seven matches at UEFA Euro 2016, including the final, where France lost to Portugal 1-0 after extra-time. Domestically, the Stade de France serves as a secondary home facility of Parisian rugby clubs Stade Français and Racing Métro 92, hosting a few of their regular-season fixtures. On Monday, March 13th, 2017, the club President, Thomas Savare , announced the planned merger of the club with its neighbour, Racing 92 for the 2017-2018 season13. The laying of the first cornerstone took place five months later on 6 September. In October 2005, Toulouse was the guest for the first ever regular season match at the Stade de France, but coach Guy Novès chose to leave key regular starters at home, so the Stade Français 29–15 victory was maybe not as significant.[20]. ”Speaking of post-match reception, he took a swipe in passing at the keepers of the South West France flame: "The eternal temple, with its fanfare, foie gras and saucisson, is a bit outdated. He never hesitates when it comes to promoting his club and creating a buzz. At this time, Thomas Savare, Managing Director of the new shareholder, the Oberthur Fiduciaire group, took over as President of the club, replacing Max Guazzini. The team returned to the top division in 1995 which coincided with the appointment of head coach Bernard Laporte. [6] On the deadline set by France's professional league for a resolution of the club's situation, Guazzini announced a new deal, in which Jean-Pierre Savare, chairman of French security systems company Oberthur Technologies, purchased a controlling stake in the club. (…) Preaching to the converted doesn't really work for me.

[9] On 11 February 2012, a Six Nations international rugby game between France and Ireland had to be cancelled just before kick-off due to the pitch freezing as the stadium lacks under-soil heating. ”.

They scheduled five Top 14 matches at Stade de France in 2009–10—Perpignan, Bayonne, Biarritz, Toulouse, and Clermont. Spectators joined in and booed the kickers in a very poor and sad match.

He also reinforced the professional staff, with the arrival of new recruits for 2018-2019, including internationals Gaël Fickou, Yoann Maestri and Nicolás Sánchez.

On 9 May 2009, the Stade de France set the national attendance record for a sporting match played in France with 80,832 showing up to watch Guingamp upset Brittany rivals Rennes 2–1 in the 2009 Coupe de France Final.

The stadium is used by the France national football team and French rugby union team for international competition. It will also host matches for the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
