Stadion Heysel, Sports stadium in Brussels, Belgium
The stadium features a distinctive oval shape with concrete terraces and a covered main stand, accommodating up to 70,000 spectators for various sporting events.
Built in 1930 to commemorate Belgium's centenary of independence, the stadium hosted multiple European Cup finals between 1958 and 1985.
The facility transformed Belgian sports infrastructure by providing a national venue for football matches, athletics competitions, and cycling championships.
The stadium includes multiple training fields in its vicinity, with a secondary arena called 'Petit Heysel' offering seating for 8,000 spectators.
Following the 1985 tragedy, the structure underwent complete reconstruction in 1995, becoming the King Baudouin Stadium with enhanced security measures.
