PSG to say goodbye to Parc des Princes?! Ligue 1 giants formalise plans to build new stadium

Champions League

PSG supremo Nasser Al-Khelaifi <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/psg-president-nasser-al-khelaifi-club-leave-parc-des-princes-wasting-years-buy/bltb4781b83e0d22149" target="_blank">had earlier disclosed that the club is on the way out of the Parc des Princes</a> after several failed attempts to buy the iconic home. "It's too easy to say now that the stadium is not for sale anymore. We know what we want, we wasted years to try and buy it. It's easier for us now, we know what we want. It's over for us. We want to move out of the Parc," Al-Khelaifi told reporters at a UEFA Congress back in February. Now, a report from<a href="https://www.leparisien.fr/sports/football/psg/le-psg-officialise-sa-volonte-de-construire-un-nouveau-stade-29-03-2024-ONSSICIFIJAPREUSJ5NPNEACJI.php?at_creation=Le%20Parisien%20%7C%20PSG&amp;at_campaign=Partage%20Twitter%20CM&amp;at_medium=Social%20media" target="_blank"> Le Parisien</a> suggests that PSG have formalized its intention to build a new stadium, marking a significant development in the club's quest to secure a modern and sustainable venue for the future.

WHAT HAPPENED?

In a proactive move, PSG's secretary general, Jean-Pierre Chaulet, dispatched a letter to Île-de-France’s planning permission (SDRIF-E) on March 11, outlining the club's aspirations for a new stadium within a 20km radius of the city. In the letter, PSG emphasized the uncertainty surrounding their tenure at the Parc des Princes and made a requisition of a 50-hectare area to facilitate the construction of their new home.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

There have been a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/psg-buy-stade-de-france-paris-mayor-blocks-parc-de-princes-sale/blta108f57d3b9f2282" target="_blank">few potential sites for consideration </a>but the board is yet to make a final decision.Among the potential sites under consideration is Montigny-le-Bretonneux in Yvelines, which boasts proximity to PSG's current training center. But its distance from the eye of Paris is a deal breaker. “It’s a great project but the road is long," a PSG official told Le Parisien. "There are many distant stadiums like Wembley or Sydney, but here we are talking about a club’s home.” Alternatively, the Gonesse site in Val-d’Oise has garnered support from the president of Roissy-Pays-de-France, who views the stadium as a symbol of aspiration and inclusion for the region's youth.“We would welcome PSG with pleasure, for what this stadium would represent as a dream, as an image for our young people from the suburbs, especially from the outer suburbs who sometimes have the impression of being forgotten," said the president of Roissy-Pays-de-France.

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

The impending departure from the Parc des Princes marks the end of an illustrious era for PSG, which has called the stadium home since 1974. Founded four years earlier, the club has enjoyed countless memorable moments within the hallowed grounds of the footballing arena.

DID YOU KNOW?

Despite previously investing substantial sums in stadium maintenance and renovations, totalling over €85m (£73m/$92 million), PSG have been forced to shift its focus towards the realization of a new stadium project. While the club initially pledged an additional €500m (£427m/$539m) for upgrades, the decision to pursue a new venue underscores PSG's commitment to securing a world-class facility befitting its status as a global football powerhouse.
