Description
Stade Vélodrome was originally designed in the 1930s by French architect Henri Ploquin. In its early years, it served as a multi-purpose sports venue, combining a stadium, athletics track, and velodrome. In the 1970s, the cycling and athletics tracks were removed, and the stadium underwent several renovations. However, the name Stade Vélodrome was always retained. The most recent renovation took place in 2014, just before the UEFA Euro 2016, during which the stadium was fitted with its iconic sculptural roof. This distinctive undulating roof follows the contours of the old open terraces from 1998, giving the stadium a modern appearance.The striking new roof was specially redesigned by Stadiums For Ants using advanced 3D software and printed with the latest techniques. The result is a miniature with stunning details, where the undulating roof shapes come to life. Additionally, the model is equipped with subtle blue ambient lighting on both the interior and exterior, capturing the stadium’s atmosphere perfectly.
Stade Vélodrome is not only the home of Olympique de Marseille but has also been the site of significant moments in French football history. In the old stadium, the French national team reached the final of the 1984 European Championship, led by captain Michel Platini, after a legendary victory over Portugal. The stadium was also the scene of Dennis Bergkamp’s famous goal in the 1998 World Cup quarterfinal against Argentina, one of the most beautiful goals in World Cup history. Our model of Stade Vélodrome honors the iconic architecture of this legendary stadium. From the undulating roof to the unique lighting and the special details of the stands, every element has been carefully reproduced. This miniature gives fans the chance to bring the magic of Stade Vélodrome into their homes and reminisce about the historic moments that took place there.
