The city of Paris wants to legally block the reservation of land decided by the region for the construction of the future PSG stadium. For the Ile-de-France club, this escalation proves that the project is taken seriously.
As revealed by The Parisian this Monday, during the Paris Council, the city will ask elected officials for authorization to take administrative action to cancel the reservation of land, decided by the region, to accommodate a possible future stadium for the capital’s football club on the island. from-France.
News that did not go unnoticed in the offices of the Factory, headquarters of the Parisian club. Behind the scenes, PSG repeats that it is progressing calmly on its new stadium project and is delighted to count on the support of the region. “The sudden panic of the town hall confirms the seriousness of this project. The city of Paris cannot publicly claim to be open to dialogue and torpedo all the alternatives on which the club is working. This reveals the blatant hypocrisy that the town hall has demonstrated since the start of negotiations,” confides a source.
A standoff between PSG and the town hall
A true sea serpent, the file for the future PSG stadium took the form of a standoff last winter with the refusal of the town hall to consider a sale of the Parc des Princes to the Qatari owners of the Ile-de-France club, arguing that the enclosure “is a heritage element which belongs to all Parisians” while hoping “that PSG continues to be its user”.
The club therefore decided to explore options for building a new stadium in Île-de-France, reaching out to the region to look for land capable of accommodating such an enclosure. The latter, chaired by Valérie Pécresse, granted this request which it considers legitimate, recalling that “the region is not there to prevent PSG from flourishing in Île-de-France”.
