PSG

Paris Saint-Germain Football Club, commonly referred to as Paris Saint-Germain (French: [paʁi sɛ̃ʒɛʁmɛ̃], ult. ref. "Saint Germanus"), PSG, Paris, or Paris SG, are a French professional football club based in Paris. Founded in 1970, following the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain, they compete in Ligue 1, the top division of French football. PSG play their home matches at the Parc des Princes. With 58 trophies won, they are the most successful club in France. PSG are the most popular football club in France and one of the most widely supported teams in the world. The club has a longstanding rivalry with Marseille, against whom they contest Le Classique. After establishing itself in the top flight during the 1970s, the Parisians won their first major titles in the 1980s, beginning with two Coupe de France trophies and later their first Ligue 1 championship. The 1990s marked one of the most successful periods in the club's history, as PSG won nine trophies, including a second league title and their first European honour, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. A decline followed in the 2000s, although the club still captured a second European trophy with the UEFA Intertoto Cup. A resurgence began in the 2010s after PSG were acquired by the government-operated Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), whose significant financial backing enabled the club to dominate domestic competitions and become a regular contender in the UEFA Champions League. In the 2024–25 season, PSG won their first Champions League title, later adding the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup to complete the most successful campaign in the club's history. PSG have won a total of 53 domestic trophies: a record 13 Ligue 1 titles, one Ligue 2 title, a record 16 Coupe de France, a record 9 Coupe de la Ligue, and a record 14 Trophée des Champions. Internationally, the club has claimed five major trophies. PSG lifted the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996, becoming the only French club to win that competition and one of just two French teams to secure a major European title. The UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2001 marked the club's second continental triumph. In 2025, they won the UEFA Champions League, becoming the second French club to do so and the first to complete a continental treble. That same year, PSG also won the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, becoming the first French side to claim both trophies, earning the first club world title in French football history, and completing an unprecedented sextuple. Since 2011, PSG have been majority-owned by QSI, with Arctos Partners acquiring a minority stake in 2023. As of January 2026, PSG are the richest club in France, rank among the wealthiest football clubs globally, and are one of the most valuable clubs in the world. Beyond its men's football team, the club operates a youth academy, a women's football team, and departments in handball, judo, and esports. PSG's women's team are among the highest-revenue sides in world women's football, while its handball team have the largest budget in European handball.
