Arnaud Péricard, the Mayor of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, opened the renovation during a ceremony with Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, the Minister of Sports and the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and French athletes Rose Loga and Aurel Manga.

Péricard called it a "symbolic moment" for the region as it now has a complete athletics stadium.

Île-de-France President Valérie Pécresse and vice-president Patrick Karam helped to fund the project.

Britain are expected to use the Georges-Lefèvre Stadium sports complex as part of their preparations for Paris 2024.

The venue, which has a capacity of 5,000, boasts several facilities, including grass and artificial football pitches, a hockey pitch, weight-throwing areas, tennis courts and a zone for archery.

Football club Paris Saint-German use it for training, though the men's team and academy are scheduled to move to the Paris Saint-Germain Training Center next year.

It hosts competitive matches for the women's and youth teams.

Saint-Germain-en-Laye has been awarded a Terre de Jeux 2024 label, which is given to areas that take action to promote more developed and inclusive participation in sport, at town and regional levels, in the run-up to Paris 2024.

The next edition of the Olympics are set to take place between July 26 and August 11 in 2024.
