PSG and its Parc des Princes crowd are French champions of the stands.

The Professional Football League recently communicated the final results of its grandstand championships that it leads each season in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2The operation aims to salute the commitment, loyalty and creativity of the spectators present in the stadiums on each new day of the season.

OM and ASSE crowned French champions of the stands

In Ligue 1, PSG won ahead of RC Lens, Olympique de Marseille, Olympique Lyonnais and RC Strasbourg Alsace. In Ligue 2, AS Saint-Etienne won it before its return to the elite ahead of another promoted (and sporting champion), AJ Auxerre, followed by Stade Malherbe de Caen, Girondins de Bordeaux and Rodez Aveyron Football .

So that’s it for the top five in each category. Why the top five? Because as we’ve observed on Sportsall will be financially rewarded according to their final position in the ranking. In Ligue 1, the envelope to be shared is 85,000 euros, of which 28,000 euros goes to the winner, while in Ligue 2, the total prize money is 50,000 euros and 17,000 euros goes to the team designated as the winner.
