Stade Jean-Bouin holds 20,000 and is Stade Français Paris’ home in the 16th arrondissement, directly across the road from the Parc des Princes.

Stade Jean-Bouin capacity

Capacity is 20,000 following the rebuild completed in 2013. Its lattice concrete-and-glass shell is one of the more distinctive pieces of stadium architecture in French sport.

Who plays at Stade Jean-Bouin

Stade Français play Top 14 rugby here. The ground is named after Jean Bouin, the middle-distance runner and Olympic silver medallist killed in 1914.

The pink shirts

Stade Français’ pink jerseys, introduced under Max Guazzini, turned the club into the biggest draw in Paris rugby and filled the Stade de France for their showpiece fixtures.
