STADE DE SUISSE Wankdorf
The 2008 European Football Championship will be hosted by Switzerland and Austria. The host cities are already preparing for the event, presenting a mixture of renovated and newly built sports venues. In the federal capital of Berne, the "Stade de Suisse" was ceremonially opened at the end of July - and with a capacity of 32,000 this is largest stadium in Switzerland. Located in the suburb of Wankdorf, its predecessor was the site of the 1954 "Wonder of Berne", where the German team beat Hungary to win the World Cup. The new building is also the home of the "BSC Young Boys" whose club colours of yellow and black rule the terraces on match days.
