PSG

Paris Saint-Germain Football Club, commonly referred to as Paris Saint-Germain (French: [paʁi sɛ̃ʒɛʁmɛ̃]) or simply PSG, Paris or Paris SG, are a French professional football club based in Paris. They compete in Ligue 1, the top division of French football. With 55 major trophies won, PSG are the most decorated club in France and are generally considered the country's biggest club.

Founded in 1970, following the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain, PSG have the most consecutive seasons playing in France's top flight. They are the most popular football club in France and one of the most widely supported teams in the world. They are nicknamed Les Parisiens (The Parisians), and their crest features the Eiffel Tower. They are also known as Les Rouge-et-Bleu (The Red-and-Blues), due to the colour of their home shirt, which also includes white. The team has a longstanding rivalry with Marseille, against whom they contest Le Classique. PSG have continuously played their home matches in the 47,929-capacity Parc des Princes in Paris since 1974.

They won their first major honour, the Coupe de France, in 1982 and their first Ligue 1 title in 1986. The 1990s were one of the most successful periods in the club's history, notably winning their second league title in 1994 and their first European trophy, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996. After suffering a decline in fortunes during the 2000s, the club have enjoyed a revival since 2011 when they were taken over by Qatar Sports Investments. With considerable financial investment, allowing PSG to buy superstar players such as Zlatan Ibrahimović, Neymar, Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi, the team achieved dominance in domestic competitions, winning multiple league titles and national cups, but underperformed in the UEFA Champions League. Following a shift away from a star-centric model to a team-first approach and younger prospects, the club won its first Champions League in 2025 as part of a continental treble.

PSG have won 52 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 13 Trophée des Champions. Internationally, they have won the Champions League in 2025, becoming the second French club to win the title; the Cup Winners' Cup in 1996, becoming the only French team to do so; the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2001; and the UEFA Super Cup in 2025, becoming the first French side to win this competition. PSG are one of two French clubs to have won a major European title and the first to win the continental treble.

Since 2011, PSG have been majority-owned by Qatari government-backed investment fund Qatar Sports Investments, which held 87.5% of the shares by 2012 while American investment firm Arctos Partners owned the remaining 12.5%. PSG are the richest club in France and one of the wealthiest in the world. In January 2025, PSG had the third-highest revenue in the footballing world with annual earnings of €806m according to Deloitte, and were the world's seventh-most valuable football club, worth $4.4bn according to Forbes.
