Stadium History
St. Jakob-Park was built between 1998 and 2001 on the site of the old St. Jakob Stadium, opening on 15 March 2001 with a modern design by Herzog & de Meuron featuring a translucent facade capable of colorful illumination effects. The stadium’s capacity was originally 33,433, later expanded to 42,500 for UEFA Euro 2008, after which seating was reconfigured to a current football capacity of 38,512 domestic and 37,500 international to enhance comfort and spacing. The venue hosted the Euro 2008 opening match and multiple knockout ties, and later staged the 2016 UEFA Europa League Final (Sevilla 3–1 Liverpool).
Today, “Joggeli” remains Switzerland’s largest football stadium and the long-term home of FC Basel, integrating retail spaces, restaurants, parking for 680 cars, and its own train stop for integrated access. It carries a UEFA 4-star rating for its category and continues to host international fixtures and major events, including UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 matches and the final, reinforcing its status as a premier multi-use venue in Swiss football.
