Question 5376 — public procurement

Summary

Mr. Maxime Michelet draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty to the concession for the Stade de France, subject to renewal. Since 2023, the procedure for renewing the Stade de France concession has been bogged down in a series of blockages and controversies which call into question the management of this file by the State. What should have been a smooth and controlled procedure turns now a fiasco. The football and rugby federations, key players in the matter, consider the proposed conditions unacceptable. The successful candidate, far from being a driver of transformation for this emblematic site, himself expresses doubts about the profitability of the concession and displays minimalist ambitions in the face of other players ready to invest several hundred million euros to make the Stade de France a world reference speaker. Worse still, suspicions of political favoritism, a series of irregularities and a worrying opacity of the selection criteria have brought the procedure into deep discredit, leading to appeals before the Council of State and fueling uncertainty. Faced with this stalemate, the pure and simple cancellation of the call for tenders is now on the table and would constitute a notable setback for the authority of the state. Meanwhile, the calendar is moving forward inexorably and FIFA is awaiting clarification as soon as possible on the stadium which will host the qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup. This is not only a sporting issue, but also an issue of international image and credibility for France. Can the State afford such discredit? While the French have woven, over the decades and great national and international, sporting and cultural events, a link as intimate as it is solid with the Stade de France, he therefore wishes to know how the Government intends to deal with such a situation, in order to allow a credible and transparent relaunch of the process.
