The Saint-Denis-based venue is set to have a capacity of 77,083 for the duration of Paris 2024, hosting events in athletics and rugby sevens at the Olympics and Para athletics at the Paralympics.

France's RMC Sport has reported that it will be unable to host sports events or concerts in the lead-up to Paris 2024, starting from the beginning of 2024.

The 2023-2024 Top 14 final in domestic rugby union has already been moved from the Stade de France to Marseille's Stade Vélodrome.

Preparations on the Stade de France, including the installation of an athletics track, are also now set to impact France's Six Nations campaign, the annual rugby union tournament usually beginning in February.

RMC Sport reports that Marseille is likely to step in as an alternative host for one of the matches, having previously staged a Six Nations match against Italy in 2018.

The Stade Vélodrome was renovated for the 2016 UEFA European Championship, and is a venue for the men's Rugby World Cup in France later this year and football matches at Paris 2024.

Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Lyon is another reported potential host for matches.

A compensation package for the French Rugby Federation (FFR) of approximately €9 million (£7.9 million/$9.6 million) at around €3 million (£2.7 million/$3.2 million) per match needs to be agreed, according to RMC Sport.

The French Football Federation (FFF) is also expected to be affected, requiring a stadium for the international window from March 18 to 26 2024 and the Coupe de France final on May 25 later that year.

insidethegames has asked the FFR, FFF and Paris 2024 for a comment.

The Stade de France was built for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, in which it held the final.

It has also staged matches at the 1997 and 2007 Rugby World Cups, and is set to be used as a venue again for the tournament later this year.

The 2003 World Athletics Championships, the 2016 UEFA European Championship final and UEFA Champions League finals in 2000, 2006 and 2022 are among the other major events held at the Stade de France.

Last year's Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool was marred by disturbing images and videos of bottlenecks, crushes and the indiscriminate use of pepper spray on supporters.

Kick-off was delayed by more than 30 minutes, and fans were also victims of crime outside the ground, including robberies and assaults.

The French authorities and the police were heavily criticised for their handling of the match, and it raised security concerns for Paris 2024, with a French Senate report urging relevant bodies to "draw the necessary lessons".

An independent report panel delivered a scathing assessment of UEFA when it released its report into the handling of the match yesterday, finding "senior officials at the top of UEFA allowed this to happen" and insisted European football's governing body "bears primary responsibility for failures which almost led to disaster".

It also criticised the Stade de France management for failing to take "any measures to ensure retention" after CCTV recordings from all 260 cameras were auto-deleted around one week after the match.
