Eurostadium was a proposed stadium in Grimbergen, Belgium, just north of Brussels. It would have had a capacity of 62,613.[1] In June 2015, the building deadline was set for 2019.[2] It would have hosted matches for UEFA Euro 2020,[3] and would have become the home ground of the national football team of Belgium.[4]

The initial plans intended for it to be the home ground of RSC Anderlecht as well, but they withdrew from the project in an early stage.[2] In contrast to the current stadium at the Heysel Plateau, the King Baudouin Stadium, it would no longer contain an athletics track.[5]
