Luxembourg Stadium (Stade de Luxembourg) is the country's national stadium and the primary venue for Luxembourg's national football and rugby union teams. Located in the Gasperich district, it replaced the older Josy Barthel Stadium as the UEFA Category 4 facility meeting international competition standards. The structure features a distinctive cantilevered roof and modular seating designed for a capacity of approximately 9,385 spectators. It is situated in the Kockelscheuer area, adjacent to the local sports park and woodland. The stadium was inaugurated in 2021 after facing construction delays. It operates as a multi-purpose venue capable of hosting concerts and large-scale public events in addition to athletic matches. The site was built to be environmentally conscious, integrating with the surrounding landscape near the French border.
The elevated viewing area near the main entrance provides a panoramic view of the stadium's unique exterior architecture and the surrounding landscape.
