A design “that celebrates identity and cultural heritage”

It was the Qatari artist Fatma Al Sharshani who created this flocking. “This collaboration is a continuation of a successful association with Fatma Al Sharshani, who had already worked with Paris Saint-Germain in March 2023,” indicates a club press release. “Today, the artist returns with a unique design that celebrates identity and cultural heritage.”

PSG put on sale the jerseys of five players with this printing in Arabic: Achraf Hakimi, Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, Joa Neves and Vitinha. The Parisians will return to their usual squad from January 12, with the reception of AS Saint-Étienne in Ligue 1.

Regularly relocated abroad since 2009, the Champions Trophy has never before made an excursion to Qatar, the country of PSG's main shareholder. During the last edition, Luis Enrique's team beat Toulouse in front of its supporters, at the Parc des Princes. If successful this Sunday, Paris will win the trophy for the 13th time.
