Rugby final at the Stade de France: Follow traffic instructions for fans!
On Saturday, June 28, 2025, the Stade de France in Paris will be the scene of a sporting spectacle. The two rugby teams Toulouse and Bordeaux-Bègles face each other in the final of the Top 14. The game starts at 9 p.m. and promises to provide plenty of excitement. But it's not just the sporting competitions that are the focus; the traffic situation is also being intensified due to announced restrictions. According to Sortir à Paris, exit number 2 of the A1 motorway towards Paris Province will be closed from 9:35 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. the following day. Exits No. 8 and No. 9 of the A86 are also affected and will not be accessible between 10:05 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.
Fans are recommended to use public transport: the RER lines B and D and line 13 of the Paris metro offer good alternatives to get to the stadium on time.
Toulouse: On the winning road
Toulouse, who shone with a resounding 59-3 victory over Bordeaux-Bègles in the French rugby final last year, are aiming for their 23rd Bouclier de Brennus and a remarkable third double win in Europe and domestic competition. As Le Progrès reports, they lead their opponents from the start and give them no chance. Bordeaux-Bègles competed without their key player Mathieu Jalibert and fought in vain against the superiority of the Toulouse players in the last final.
With two tries from Antoine Dupont and the impressive performance of the entire team, Toulouse can look back on a brilliant performance. Led by coach Yannick Bru, Toulouse dominated the game and managed their lead confidently after making numerous changes in the second half. It was the biggest points difference in the history of the finals and the nervous Bordeaux-Bègles simply couldn't keep up.
Rugby is on everyone's lips
But it's not just the professionals who are in the spotlight: the popularity of rugby is also constantly growing. Data shows global participation increased by 11% to 8.46 million in 2023, underlining the enthusiasm for the sport. According to Rugby Pass, 57% of players are pre-adolescent, with 24% being girls. This shows that progress has been made in the area of gender inclusion.
Additionally, active registered players among adults have increased significantly - by 26% for men and 38% for women. These developments coincide with a 30% increase in rugby clubs worldwide. A positive trend that also increases anticipation for the upcoming Men's Rugby World Cup in France and builds on the successes of the last Women's World Cup.
With these areas of tension on the pitch and at the subway stops, Rugby Saturday in Paris is sure to be an unforgettable experience. Don't miss out on this fun!
