Pierre Ferracci, president of Paris FC, leader of Ligue 2 and with a new ambition, opened the door to the idea of sharing the Parc des Princes with PSG for a time.
In which stadium and in which division will Paris FC play next season? The Parisian club, leader of Ligue 2 after thirteen days, believes more than ever in its chances of joining the elite of French football. If he succeeds, it will be with great ambition. The PFC was recently bought by Bernard Arnault’s family holding company, in partnership with Red Bull, which already manages several large football clubs (Leipzig, Salzburg, New York, etc.).
But at this rate, the Charléty stadium will perhaps no longer measure up to the Parisian project. “For the moment, filling a stadium with 20,000 seats is enough for us to be happy, whether we are playing in the League 1 or in League 2»assured Pierre Ferracci, president of Paris FC, on the set of The L’Équipe channel Tuesday evening. But the club plans to play for a while at Jean-Bouin, home of the Stade Français Paris. Negotiations “difficult” are in progress,” commented Ferracci.
“Transforming Charléty would be ideal”
“If we could go to Jean-Bouin and transform Charléty, that would be ideal”explained the Parisian leader. It is still necessary to actually be able to expand the capacity. “If there was no possibility of extension to Charléty or Jean-Bouin, the question of volume would arise”he admitted. This is where the hypothesis of the Parc des Princes, owned by the City of Paris and which Paris Saint-Germain threatens to leave to found its own stadium, appears.
“The question of sharing, perhaps one day it will arise. Afterwards, I hope that the two clubs will deal with their stadium problem intelligently and that there will not be a stadium war in Paris.shared Ferracci. The Parc des Princes has around 48,000 places. A total considered insufficient by PSG, accustomed to playing the leading roles in the Champions League. What Paris FC could aspire to in the long term.
