Colombes
(capacity: 7,000)
The Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir - stadium in Colombes, near Paris, France (also known as the Stade Olympique de Colombes, or simply Colombes to the locals). Named in memory of French rugby player Yves du Manoir in 1928, it was the main stadium for the 1924 Summer OlympicsFile:Stade de Colombes 1924.jpg
and had a capacity of 45,000 at the time. During the 1924 games, it hosted the athletics, some of the cycling, some of the horse riding, gymnastics, tennis,
 some of the football, rugby, and two of the modern pentathlon events (running, fencing).
 It was later expanded to a capacity of over 60,000. Colombes was also the venue for the
1938 World Cup Final between Italy and Hungary.
The 1938 FIFA World Cup Final was the deciding match of the 1938 FIFA World Cup.
It was contested by Italy and Hungary. Italy won the game 4-2 to win the last tournament before World War II.
The final itself took place at the Stade Olympique de Colombes in Paris. Vittorio Pozzo's Italian side took the lead early, but Hungary equalised within two minutes. The Italians took the lead again shortly after, and by the end of the first half were leading the Hungarians 3-1. Hungary never really got back into the game. With the final score favouring the Italians 4-2, Italy became the first team to successfully defend the title (and the first team to win the title on foreign soil) and were once more crowned World Cup winners.
The last survivor of the game was Italy's Pietro Rava, who died on 5 November 2006 at the age of 90ITA-HUN 1938-FIN-CM.svg
. It remained the country's largest stadium until the renovated Parc des Princes was inaugurated in 1972. By that time, Colombes' capacity had dropped to under 50,000 due to more stringent safety regulations. The national rugby union team played its last game at Colombes in 1972, and the national football team last played there in 1975.
French professional football team RC Paris used Colombes as their home ground until 1985 or so, then moved on to other stadia before coming back in the 2000s.
Racing Métro 92 rugby club have never left. They originally planned to redevelop
Yves-du-Manoir into a 15,000-seat stadium to be shared with RCP football club, but have since
decided to build a completely new stadium, tentatively known as Arena 92, in nearby Nanterre.
 It remains to be seen whether the RCP football club will move as well.
The stadium was portrayed in the film Escape to VictoryFile:EscapeToVictory.jpg starring Sylvester Stallone and Michael Caine,
 but the stand-stadium used in the filming was the Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion in Budapest, Hungary.

Racing Club de France – Levallois 92 also known as Racing Paris, RCF Paris, Racing Club, or simply Racing) is a French association football club formerly based in Colombes, a suburb of Paris. In 2009, the club moved to nearby Levallois-PerretFile:Levallois-seine.jpg after the club reached a financial agreement with the commune. Racing was founded in 1882 as a sports club and is one of the oldest clubs in French football history. The team currently plays in the Championnat de France amateur 2, the fifth level of French football. Racing is managed by former football player Azzedine Meguellatti and hosts its home matches at the Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir in nearby Colombes.File:Colombesplateau.JPG
Racing Club de France was founded in 1882 and has a rich history, despite the club's current status as an amateur club. Racing was one of the founding members of the French Division 1 and is one of the most successful clubs in French football history. However, despite the moniker, Racing has only won one Ligue 1 title, which came during the infancy of the league in the 1935–36 season. The club has also won five Coupe de France titles, which is tied for fourth-best among clubs. Racing also played in the USFSA-sanctioned league, which was France's first-ever league championship. Racing made its debut in the league in 1899 and won the league in 1907 having previously finished as runner-up in 1902 and 1903.
Racing have unearthed several talented players during its early existence. Notably players who played at the club include Roger Marche, Enzo Francescoli, Oscar Heisserer, Thadée Cisowski, and Raoul Diagne, among others. Diagne spent a decade with the club from 1930–1940 and, in 1931, became the first black player to play in the French national team. He later played on the team at the 1938 FIFA World Cup alongside Abdelkader Ben Bouali, his Racing teammate, who was one of the first players of North African descent to play for the national team.
Racing Club de France is a historic team of French football, however, with a complicated history. During the 1900 Summer Olympics, the club hosted the athletic events at Croix-Catelan Stadium, which was the club's previous home. Racing's days at its zenith were in the 1930s and 40s, when the club won the Division 1 in 1936, and the Coupe de France in 1936, 1939, 1940, 1945 and 1949. The club was also successful at the beginning of the 1960s, finishing runner-up of the first division in 1961 and 1962. However, midway through the decade, Racing became a significant focal point of the financial crisis that affected French football. The club's financial struggles resulted in its relegation to the lower divisions.
Racing was bought in the 1980s by French businessman Jean-Luc Lagardère who wanted to build a team of stars, however the purchase and notion turned out to be a failure and Lagardère sold the team shortly after. Since its relegation to the amateur levels, Racing is still seeking financial resources to develop the club. In December 2008, Georgios Kintis sought to buy the club, but failed to reach an agreement.Ahead of the 2009–10 season, the club reached a financial agreement with the city of Levallois. The club's association and support from the commune resulted in Racing changing its name to Racing Club de France Levallois 92
However, despite assistance from Levallois, in July 2010, Racing was administratively relegated to the Championnat de France amateur 2 by the DNCG after it was determined that the club had a €500,000 financial debt. On 21 November 2010, Racing Levallois and UJA Alfortville announced plans to merge, starting next season. However, the merger is dependent on Alfortville maintaining its spot in the Championnat National.
