This is one of the stunning new stadiums which has been built ahead of this summer's European Championship in France.

The Stade des Lumieres, which is the new home of Ligue 1 club Lyon, will host six matches at Euro 2016, including Northern Ireland's Group C clash with Ukraine.

Lyon will begin playing their home fixtures at the newly built 59,500-seater arena within the coming weeks.

The stadium was meant to be completed in 2014 but construction delays mean work has only just been finished.

It is estimated the cost of the project is between €400-€450million.

The Stade des Lumieres, which translates to Stadium of Lights, replaces Lyon's current stadium, the Stade Gerland.

The 40,000-seater Stade Gerland opened in 1926 and hosted matches at Euro 1984 and the 1998 World Cup.

Euro 2016 matches also to be played at the newly built Stade des Lumieres include Belgium vs Italy, Romania vs Albania, Hungary vs Portugal, one of the Round of 16 matches and one of the semi-finals.
