The '''Stade Yves-du-Manoir''' (officially '''Stade olympique Yves-du-Manoir''', also known as the '''Stade olympique de Colombes''', or simply '''Colombes''' to the locals) is a rugby, track, and association football stadium in [[Colombes]], near [[Paris, France|Paris]], [[France]].
== History ==
[[File:Stade_de_Colombes_1924.jpg|left|thumb|The stadium after being renovated for the [[1924 Summer Olympics]].]]
Named in memory of French rugby player [[Yves du Manoir]] in 1928, it was the main stadium for the [[1924 Summer Olympics]] and had a capacity of 45,000 at the time.<ref>[http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1924/1924.pdf 1924 Olympics Official Report.] pp. 50–5, 96, 121, 152, 216, 222, 238, 248, 318, 339, 375, 499, 503, 536. {{in lang|fr}}</ref> During the 1924 games, it hosted the [[Athletics at the 1924 Summer Olympics|athletics]], some of the [[Cycling at the 1924 Summer Olympics|cycling]], some of the [[Equestrian at the 1924 Summer Olympics|horse riding]], [[Gymnastics at the 1924 Summer Olympics|gymnastics]], [[Tennis at the 1924 Summer Olympics|tennis]], some of the [[Football at the 1924 Summer Olympics|football]], [[Rugby union at the 1924 Summer Olympics|rugby]], and two of the [[Modern pentathlon at the 1924 Summer Olympics|modern pentathlon]] events (running, fencing).
It was later expanded to a capacity of over 60,000. Colombes was also the venue for the [[1938 FIFA World Cup Final|1938 World Cup Final]] between [[Italy national football team|Italy]] and [[Hungary national football team|Hungary]], and also hosted the [[France national football team|home team]]'s two matches in the tournament.
Colombes hosted several French Cup finals and home games of the [[France national football team|national football]] and [[France national rugby union team|national rugby union teams]] into the 1970s. It remained the nation's largest capacity stadium until the renovated [[Parc des Princes]] was inaugurated in 1972. Due to increasingly stringent safety regulations, the Colombes' capacity had dropped to under 50,000. The last games of the [[France national rugby union team|national rugby union]] and [[France national football team|football]] teams at Colombes were respectively in 1972 and 1975.

France's professional football team [[RC Paris]] used Colombes as their home ground until about 1985, then moved on to other stadia before returning in the 2010s. Unlike RC Paris, [[Racing 92]] rugby did not leave Colombes until November 2017. They originally planned to redevelop Yves-du-Manoir into a stadium to be shared with [[Racing Club de France Football]]. Instead, they built [[Paris La Défense Arena]] in nearby [[Nanterre]], playing their first match in the new venue in December 2017.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.lequipe.fr/Rugby/Actualites/Le-nouvel-ecrin-du-racing-92-la-u-arena-ouvre-ses-portes/842772 |title=Le nouvel écrin du Racing 92, la U Arena, ouvre ses portes |first=Richard |last=Escot |language=fr |newspaper=[[L'Équipe]] |date=16 October 2017 |access-date=17 October 2017}}</ref> It remains to be seen whether the Racing Club de France football club will move as well.
It served as the [[field hockey at the 2024 Summer Olympics|field hockey]] venue for the [[2024 Summer Olympics]].

== In popular culture ==
The Olympic races involving [[Harold Abrahams]] and [[Eric Liddell]], which are portrayed in the film ''[[Chariots of Fire]]'', were run here, although the Colombes stadium was not used for the film.<ref>"The Real Chariots of Fire",  (TV Movie) Silver River Productions (2012)</ref> The stand-in stadium for filming was the Oval Sports Centre, Bebington, Merseyside, near Liverpool, England.
The stadium was portrayed in the 1981 film ''[[Escape to Victory]]'' starring [[Sylvester Stallone]] and [[Michael Caine]], but the stand-stadium used in the filming was the [[Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion (1947)]] in [[Budapest]], [[Hungary]].
