The Stade de Luxembourg is the national stadium of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, located in the Luxembourg City quarter of Gasperich.[1][2] The stadium is host to Luxembourg's national football and rugby teams, as well as the final of the Coupe de Luxembourg, and is listed as a Category 4 stadium by UEFA allowing it to host international matches.[1] Construction on the stadium occurred between September 2017 and July 2021, missing the original 2019 target date for completion.[3][4] On 1 September 2021, the stadium marked its official opening by hosting its first international match between the Luxembourg and Azerbaijan men's football teams as part of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[5][4] The inauguration ceremony for the stadium took place later that month, on 25 September.[4] The Stade de Luxembourg replaces the outdated Josy Barthel stadium, due for demolition.[1][3]
