History and description

Stade de Tourbillon opened on August 11, 1968. It replaced Sion's old Parc des Sports, a ground which had become too small after the club celebrated several successes from the late 1950s onwards. The stadium initially consisted of one large main covered stand, a smaller covered stand on the other side, and two small uncovered stands on both ends.

The Stade de Tourbillon remained unchanged until 1986, when the club embarked on a gradual redevelopment program that would take until 1996 and included the construction of new covered stands.

The stadium has undergone recent refurbishments to meet European match standards.
