Paris FC is on the verge of entering a new dimension with its takeover by the Arnault family (LVMH group) as well as Red Bull. Its current president, Pierre Ferracci, looks favorably on a future Parisian derby against PSG.
For many years, the PSG is the only club to represent
Paris in Ligue 1. The
Paris FC has several times come close to a rise in the elite of the French championship, but in vain. But with the future takeover of the club by the Arnault family (group
LVMH) as well as Red Bullit could very quickly become the second club in Paris in Ligue 1. Present on the set ofEvening shift this week, the president of Paris
FC, Pierre Ferracciraised the possibility of a future Parisian derby in Ligue
1. And the leader did not hide that for him, this could do good for the PSG.
“You have to be in Ligue 1 to exist”
« Yes, it's perfectly viable, of course. I first think that there will be a draft of air as soon as we are in Ligue
1. The problem of Parisis that when you are in Nationalyou do not exist. Neither the
Paris FCcan Red Staris
Creteil. When you are in Ligue
2you start to show your head. You must be in
Ligue 1 to exist. Not just because the
PSG has been crushing everything for 40 years, with considerable firepower, and even more so since the
Qatar is there, but because there are all the other shows and all the other sports which make
Paris attracted. But I believe that there is a space for two clubs with different identities, with different cultureslance Ferracci in the show.
Of course, everyone understood that the derby was interesting for everyone and I think that
Nasser understood it too. This will do good for
PSG. For the moment, we are not there. For now, our daily life is Rodez,
Martigues, Lorient,
Dunkirk… But in the long term, this is the ambition we can have.«

“Play at the Parc des Princes? A hypothesis that should not be completely rejected”
In this interview he also discussed the possibility of sharing the Princes Park with the
PSG. « The ideal gauge for a club that settles permanently in Ligue 1who rather plays the first part of the table and who plays theEuropeit is rather the level of the stadium of the
Juve in Italyso 41,000 or 42,000 places. So, it is true that the
Princes Parkwe're not far from it, if that's what you want me to say. Then, in times of shortage where we are not increasing public facilities, I mean that this is a hypothesis that should not be completely rejected..«
