- Stade de France dressing room was used by 1998 team

Katarina Johnson-Thompson will be one of only 50 track and field athletes at the Paris Olympics allowed to use the same iconic dressing room as France’s 1998 World Cup winners, the Guardian can reveal.
The home changing room at the Stade de France is regarded as an inner sanctum of French sport, with the shirts worn by the stars of that famous team, including Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry, still hanging on its walls.
