Three suicide bombers struck outside the stadium shortly after 9pm on November 13th, 2015 during an international football friendly between France and Germany.
Four people died, including the three suicide bombers, but almost simultaneously, a series of shootings and bombings were launched at restaurants and the Bataclan music venue in central Paris.
In total, 130 people were killed, while more than 400 were injured with many left with life-changing injuries. Two victims later committed suicide.
Before Friday night's Nations Championship rugby clash between France and South Africa, a tribute will be held to the victims of those attacks.
"We will have a moment's pause for the events of that date and we will think about the families and the victims who are still suffering," France coach Fabien Galthié said on Wednesday.
"And we will think about our republic of course, which is also suffering."
On Wednesday, on Armistice Day, France captain Antoine Dupont and his half-back partner Maxime Lucu laid flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris on behalf of the team to remember those who died during World War I.
"I'm a citizen of the republic and we are all citizens of the republic. The French team is a citizen of the republic and we have a series of events centred around November 13th - reflection, remembrance and, above all, a chance to ask questions about our society and the role we have in this society," added Galthié.
Twice before, France's football team had played a match on November 13th, against Kazakhstan in 2021 and Ukraine last year, but both ties were played at the Parc des Princes in southwest Paris instead of the national stadium.
