Stade Olympique de la Pontaise, Football stadium in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The rectangular concrete structure rises above the northern part of Lausanne, featuring main stands covered by metal roofing and corner floodlight towers.
The stadium opened in 1904 and underwent major reconstruction in 1954 to host five matches of the FIFA World Cup that year.
Regular Athletissima track and field competitions gather international athletes and draw thousands of spectators to this multi-purpose sports facility.
Visitors can reach the stadium by taking bus lines 1 or 21 from Lausanne central station to the Stade Olympique stop.
The venue served as a concert stage for international performers including Pink Floyd, Michael Jackson, and Elton John during the 1980s.
