Stade de France to host 2010 Heineken Cup final

PARIS (Reuters) - Next year's Heineken Cup final will be played at the Stade de France on the outskirts of Paris, organisers said on Monday.

"We are delighted that the Paris 2010 Heineken Cup final will be played at the magnificent Stade de France, the venue of the 2007 Rugby World Cup final," said European Rugby Cup (ERC) chairman Jean-Pierre Lux.

It will be the third Heineken Cup final in France after it was staged in Bordeaux in 1998 and at Paris's Parc des Princes in 2001.
