History

Perspective
The first sports facilities of the Stade Georges Lefèvre were inaugurated on 21 June 1904, under the name of Stade des Loges, to coincide with the foundation of now-dissolved French football club Stade Saint-Germain that same year.[1][2] The complex now has 40 fields for different sports and covers an area of 12 hectares.[1][2][3] It is located in the forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, opposite to the Camp des Loges, the former training ground of Paris Saint-Germain.[3]
In 1945, following the death of Stade Saint-Germain player Georges Lefèvre during World War II in 1940, the Stade des Loges changed its name to Stade Georges Lefèvre in his honor.[2] Its main football stadium has a seating capacity of 2,164 spectators distributed over three stands, but can hold more people standing up.[2] On 9 March 1969, 4,593 supporters attended Stade Saint-Germain's 2–1 victory over Évreux AC in the round of 16 of the 1968–69 Coupe de France. It still stands as the venue's attendance record.[2][4]
Since the foundation of Paris Saint-Germain, product of the merger between Stade Saint-Germain and fellow Parisian side Paris FC on August 12, 1970, the complex has served as the headquarters of the Association Paris Saint-Germain.[5][6][7] It was also one of the home grounds of the new club's male first team until they moved into the Parc des Princes in 1974.[7][8] The Stade Georges Lefèvre hosted home matches for the women's team between 1971 and 2024, and those of PSG's male and female academy sides from 1975 to 2024.[1][9] They all moved to Campus PSG, the club's new training ground in nearby Poissy, in January 2024.[10][11]
In July 2025, it was confirmed that FC Versailles 78 would play its home matches at the Stade Georges Lefèvre for the 2025–26 Championnat National season.[12]
