A real stadium war is looming in the capital if Paris FC finally moves up to Ligue 1. The idea of the Arnault family club to play at Charléty is contested and the PFC is now sent to the Parc des Princes.
Paris FC is far from having its ticket for Ligue 1, but the future of the second football club in the City of Lights is already causing a stir. For the leaders of the PFC, things are relatively simple, they will play at the Stade Jean-Bouin, a few meters from the Parc des Princes, during the modernization work at the Stade Charléty, then return to their usual venue when it is up to standard. Except that in this matter, there is now a huge thorn. Indeed, Paris FC must face a problem, which is that Charléty does not belong to it since it shares this stadium with the PUC omnisports and its football section. And on the side of the university club, we are already very clear, the Stade Charléty must not be modified for the sole benefit of the Arnault family club and Paris FC must target the Parc des Princes where PSG plays.
PSG is leaving, the Parc des Princes already recovered
For the president of the Paris Université Club, who speaks in The Parisianto the extent that the Paris town hall refuses to sell the Parc des Princes to Paris Saint-Germain and that PSG has made the decision to leave its legendary stadium, then it is Paris FC which must settle there. “ I think that the future of Paris FC does not lie with Charléty. He is perhaps in a cohabitation in Jean-Bouin and eventually at the Parc des Princes (…) We could have a distribution of football with a PSG in Ile-de-France in its large enclosure, a chic Parisian club, Paris FC, which would be at the Parc des Princes and a popular club, Red Star, with this new Bauer enclosure with 10,000 seats which, if it one day arrives in L 1, will rent the Stadium three or four times a year from France for very special occasions », Explains Bernard Comment, president of the PUC.
-PSG at the Parc for ten more years?
While Nasser Al-Khelaifi and the leaders of Paris Saint-Germain already have ideas in mind to establish their future billion-euro stadium, even if the supporters still want to believe that they will never leave the Parc des Princes, the file suddenly becomes heavier with this very strong position. The situation is all the more complicated as we already know that PSG will not eventually move into its new stadium until ten years from now, once the decision has been made, and that by then Paris FC will have to gain momentum in your project. All this with an upcoming election. A guaranteed headache for Parisian elected officials.
