A show of drones drawing in a snowy sky « This is Paris » et « Campus PSG »prestigious guests like Novak Djokovic and Nikola Karabatic, without forgetting the glories of the club and Nasser al-Khelaïfi with a big Colgate smile, this is how Paris SG has
Welcome to Poissy Saint-Germain
A dream assumed by the Qataris upon their arrival in Paris, the project for this high-end center cost between 300 and 350 million euros. This colossal investment, entirely financed by the country of the Arabian Peninsula, is smart and necessary in the club's development strategy. Unsurprisingly, Nasser al-Khelaïfi was over the moon this Thursday evening: “ One of the most remarkable, modern and innovative training centers in the world. » The superlatives are also going well for Marquinhos, the club captain and the former member of the house: “ For those who, like me, experienced the Camp des Loges, this new Campus represents a magnificent change which puts us in the best possible conditions. » It must be said that the tour de force is quite remarkable: 59 hectares, including 150,000 m2 dedicated to outdoor training areas, 16 football fields, 600 m weight rooms2 with balneotherapy.
This new living space also allows the club to bring together all its teams under the same chapel, to place the emphasis on education for its young shoots (140 young girls and boys in training or pre-training) with in particular 10 classes (college and high school) and 27 teachers mobilized, and to push the performance cursor to an unprecedented level. In its quest for perfection, Paris Saint-Germain is moving forward, even if the sporting project seems much less promising than at the start. As proof, “NAK” assures that the Champions League is not a goal this season and wants to put an end to the rhinestones and glitter (we know this theory). If it is hard to believe, it is undeniable that the realization of this brand new training center is a logical continuation for the Parisian club, or simply a way of laying the foundations of a more stable project (with Luis Enrique and Luis Campos over time?), while PSG is simultaneously mired in a soap opera about its future stadium.
The thorny question of the Parc des Princes
“I really like the Park, everyone loves it. If I listen to my heart, we're not leaving. But everyone in Europe has stadiums with 80,000, 90,000 seats… We need them, otherwise we are dead, asked the president of PSG at the microphone of RMC Thursday evening. I don't do politics. For us, we need a stadium ready in 3-4 years, we have no time to lose, otherwise we are behind other clubs in Europe. We need to build the new stadium as quickly as possible to be at the level we want. The city leaves us no choice. » By clearly announcing the end of the story between PSG and the Parc des Princes, Al-Khelaïfi has thrown yet another stone into the pond. Leaving the Park would mean abandoning another part of the identity of the capital club, while we do not yet know if a possible change of majority at Paris town hall during the 2026 municipal elections could change the situation. In the meantime, Parisian leaders are placing their pawns and have already launched several very in-depth studies on at least three locations to establish a future stadium, which So Foot can confirm.
This is our vision with this training center, we want to build a team for the future. The coach really believes in our young people.
It is in this vague context that the future of the club is being prepared behind the scenes. If we know that nothing is ever done in football, Al-Khelaïfi confirmed his desire to build this PSG on a human scale with Luis Enrique and promised that he was not going to do anything crazy during the winter transfer window. A turning point in strategy: “Our best investment is this, the training center. We want to continue to find the best talent in Paris. We really want to build a team that comes from Paris. Today we have the youngest squad in Europe. This is our vision with this training center, we want to build a team for the future. The coach really believes in our young people. » Has the new PSG really arrived?
