King Baudouin Stadium, Multi-purpose sports venue in Heysel, Belgium
The stadium features a complete athletics track, enclosed seating sections, modern lighting systems, and an LED display beneath the northern curve section.
Opened in 1930 as Stade du Centenaire to commemorate Belgium's independence centenary, with architect Joseph Van Neck designing the original structure.
The stadium serves as the primary location for Belgian national football team matches and hosts international athletics competitions throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the stadium through two metro stations, with direct connections to central Brussels and proximity to the Atomium monument.
The facility underwent extensive renovations in 1995, increasing capacity to 50,024 seats and implementing new security measures following earlier incidents.
