A data mentioned by Ferracci : « Paris FC will be a popular club, in the sense of being close to the people, even if we will probably not continue with free places.

It will remain mixed because our proximity between the women's and men's teams is something that brings us together. Finally, we will add a touch of elegance like the Yugoslav or South American players who played here, or our ambassador Raï. »
