Will there soon be two clubs from the same city in Ligue 1? Since the acquisition intentions of Paris FC were revealed, by the LVMH groups in majority and Red Bull in minority shareholder, the other club of the capital betrays high ambitions in the long term and perhaps even for the end of this season, if by chance he manages to reach Ligue 1.
Paris FC has high ambitions, but the gap is enormous
If the figures mentioned by L’Equipe, “between 100 and 200 million euros invested over several years” give a first idea of the scale of the project, to date, the two teams are not officiating in the same course. Neither sporty and even less financial. To better measure the path to be taken to bridge the gaps, we at Sportune have drawn up the business comparison of the two Parisian clubs.
At all levels the gaps are abysmal. Both at the economic level and in popularity, even on the public interest in Ile-de-France for the two clubs; as much as he flocks to the Parc des Princes on the evenings when PSG performs, he shuns the Charléty stadium when the PFC plays. The latter is however at the initiative of an unprecedented measure in France, he has introduced free admission for Ligue 2 matches for men and Division 1 for women, but he is still struggling to fill his box to more than a third.
PSG multiplied its turnover by 8 under QSI
It will take time, a lot for the future management team of Paris FC, to hope to compete with that of its more powerful neighbor. This last figure to illustrate it: as of June 30, 2011, just before Qatar became a shareholder of the club, Paris Saint-Germain generated a turnover excluding trading of 100 million euros altogether. . More than a decade later, it has increased eightfold.
