The Stade des Charmilles was a football stadium in the Swiss city of Geneva in the canton of the same name . From 1930 to 2002 it was the home stadium of the Servette Geneva football club .
history
The facility was inaugurated on June 28, 1930 with the game Servette Geneva against the Viennese club First Vienna FC (0: 7). It was the first game as part of the Coupe des Nations 1930 , which took place on the occasion of the inauguration of the new stadium in Geneva. The Swiss national team's first international match in this stadium was played against Scotland on May 24, 1931 and lost 3-2.
In 1946 the audience capacity increased from 14,000 to 30,000. On October 14, 1951, more than 40,000 entries were made at the international match between Switzerland and France , which was equivalent to a record attendance. During the Football World Cup in 1954 , four games were played in the 35,997-seat stadium at the time. The first game under floodlights took place on June 11, 1956, when Servette lost 0-1 to French champions OGC Nice . From 1983 onwards, all grandstands were covered, and a year later there were first considerations for a new building.
In January 1995 the league ordered grandstand A to be closed because it was in disrepair, and the subsequent renovation took a year. In the following years, the stadium had to be adapted to UEFA standards (standing room abolished) and from July 1998 had a capacity of 9,250 spectators. In July 2000, construction began on the new Stade de Genève in Lancy ; the last game in the old stadium took place on December 8, 2002. The Stade des Charmilles was then left to decay for nine years and finally demolished in mid-November 2011. A public park and residential buildings should be built on the wasteland by 2014.
On 28 June 2015, the 3.8 was on the old stadium site hectare large Parc Gustave et Léonard Hentsch inaugurated with 247 trees and 2,000 plants. The park is a gift from the city to local residents.
