new big revelations about the stadium

The day after the 4-2 victory against Manchester City in a boiling Parc des Princes despite the rain, with a Boulogne Tribune which was exceptionally authorized to be lively, new big revelations came out concerning the project for the new PSG stadium. The deputy for Sports at Paris town hall, Pierre Rabadan, spoke to Franceinfo Sport today on the matter. “The outright sale of the Parc des Princes is no longer an option. » The city's position has remained unchanged for several months while negotiations with the capital club have been at a standstill for two years. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi told RMC Sport in January 2024 that “the town hall left him no other choice” than to leave his historic lair since 1974.

Three favorite applications, staying at the Park is not ruled out

France Info reveals that a short-list will be revealed in March while the chosen candidacy was to be announced this month but multiple interested municipalities have made themselves known, which postponed the announcement. Three applications stand out with Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines with discussions started almost two years ago, as stated by Jean-Michel Fourgous, president of the urban community located about twenty kilometers west of the Parc des Princes, that of Ris-Orangis about thirty kilometers south of the Park and that of Massy about twenty kilometers. The club's idea is to create a PSG Land in order to improve the spectator experience when coming to the stadium and to launch a project of 60,000 to 90,000 seats with a plot of 50 hectares.

The desire for a new stadium accelerated when negotiations with Paris town hall broke down and the constraints surrounding the Parc des Princes emerged. The expansion of the Parc des Princes is incompatible with the ambitions of the club which wants to create an ultra-modern stadium as Tottenham was able to do. The project is expected to come to fruition only within seven to ten years, with a period of 12 to 18 months will be required for in-depth study work. The request from the Ultras Paris Collective to stay at the Parc des Princes seems to be ignored but the possibility of staying at the Parc des Princes is not 100% ruled out with the possibility of a buyout. We will have to wait for the municipal elections of 2026 to hope to obtain a majority in favor of the sale via a Paris Council.
