'''Paris Saint-Germain Football Club''', commonly referred to as '''Paris Saint-Germain''' ({{IPA|fr|paʁi sɛ̃ʒɛʁmɛ̃|lang}}, {{tooltip|ult. ref.|ultimately referring to}} "Saint Germanus"), '''PSG''', '''Paris''', or '''Paris SG''', is a French professional football club based in Paris. The club was founded in 1970 following the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain, and competes in Ligue 1, the top tier of French football. PSG play their home matches at the Parc des Princes. With a total of 59 trophies, including 58 major titles, PSG are the most successful club in France. The club is also the most popular football club in the country and one of the most widely supported teams worldwide. PSG maintain rivalries with Olympique de Marseille, with whom they contest Le Classique, and with Paris FC in the Paris derby.
After establishing itself in the top flight during the 1970s, the Parisians won their first major titles in the 1980s, beginning with two Coupe de France trophies and later their first Ligue 1 championship. The club's rise continued in the 1990s, as PSG won nine trophies, including a second league title and their first European honour, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. Despite a second European trophy with the UEFA Intertoto Cup, the club struggled during the 2000s. A resurgence began in the 2010s after PSG were acquired by the government-operated Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), whose significant financial backing enabled the club to dominate domestic competitions and win their first UEFA Champions League titles back-to-back in 2025 and 2026.
PSG have won a total of 54 domestic trophies: a record 14 Ligue 1 titles, one Ligue 2 title, a record 16 Coupe de France, a record 9 Coupe de la Ligue, and a record 14 Trophée des Champions. Internationally, PSG is the most decorated French team, with six major trophies, including a French record two UEFA Champions League titles, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, and the UEFA Intertoto Cup. In 2025, they won their first UEFA Champions League, becoming the first French club to complete a continental treble. That same year, PSG also won the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, becoming the first French side to claim both trophies, earning the first club world title in French football history, and completing an unprecedented sextuple. In 2026, they retained the Champions League title, becoming only the second club in the Champions League era to retain the title in successive seasons.<ref name="Reuters2026Final">{{cite news |title=PSG retain Champions League title with shoot-out win over Arsenal |url=https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/psg-retain-champions-league-title-with-shoot-out-win-over-arsenal-2026-05-30/ |work=Reuters |date=30 May 2026 |access-date=30 May 2026}}</ref>
Since 2011, PSG have been majority-owned by QSI, with Arctos Partners acquiring a minority stake in 2023. As of January 2026, PSG are the richest club in France, rank among the wealthiest football clubs globally, and are one of the most valuable clubs in the world. Beyond its men's football team, the club operates a youth academy, a women's football team, and departments in handball, judo, and esports. PSG's women's team are among the highest-revenue sides in world women's football, while its handball team have the largest budget in European handball. The club have previously fielded teams in basketball, volleyball, boxing, and rugby league.

Paris Saint-Germain were founded in 1970 following the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain. PSG made an immediate impact, winning Ligue 2 and thus achieving promotion to Ligue 1 in their first season. Their momentum was soon halted, and the club split in 1972. Paris FC remained in the top flight, while PSG were relegated to Division 3. After two consecutive promotions, PSG quickly returned to the top flight in 1974 and moved to the Parc des Princes.<ref name="History1978">{{cite news | title = L'historique du club de la saison 1970/1978 | url = http://www.psg.fr/fr/Article/003002/Article/38609/1970-1978 | work = PSG.FR | date = 25 May 2008 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080525204327/http://www.psg.fr/fr/Article/003002/Article/38609/1970-1978 | access-date = 27 June 2025 | archive-date = 25 May 2008 }}</ref><ref name="PSG50Years">{{cite news | title = 50 years of PSG: A look back at the rise of France's wealthiest club | url = https://www.france24.com/en/20200823-50-years-of-psg-a-look-back-at-the-rise-of-france-s-wealthiest-club | work = France 24 | date = 23 August 2020 | access-date = 27 June 2025}}</ref><ref name="UEFA">{{cite news | title = Paris Saint-Germain FC | url = http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/season=2016/teams/team=52747/profile/index.html | work = UEFA | date = 22 August 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180425054650/http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/season=2016/teams/team=52747/profile/index.html | access-date = 2 April 2019 | archive-date=25 April 2018 }}</ref><ref name="psg70">{{cite news | title = Histoire du Paris Saint Germain | url = http://psg70.free.fr/historique.htm | work = PSG70 | access-date = 2 April 2019 | archive-date = 8 June 2017 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170608011115/http://psg70.free.fr/historique.htm | url-status = live }}</ref><ref name="psgfc">{{cite news | title = A brief history of PSG | url = https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/1135960/a-brief-history-of-psg | work = ESPN.com | date = 17 August 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190624053721/https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/1135960/a-brief-history-of-psg | access-date = 16 December 2020 | archive-date = 24 June 2019 }}</ref>
The club's first trophies arrived in the 1980s. Led by players such as Safet Sušić, Luis Fernandez and Dominique Rocheteau, the Parisians claimed back-to-back Coupe de France in 1982 and 1983, and their first Ligue 1 title in 1986. A steep decline followed, but the takeover by Canal+ in 1991 revitalized PSG. Led by David Ginola, George Weah and Raí, the club won nine trophies and reached five consecutive European semi-finals during the 1990s. Notably, Paris captured their second league title in 1994 and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996, with the legendary Luis Fernandez now as manager.<ref name="PSG50Years"/><ref name="UEFA"/><ref name="psg70"/><ref name="psgfc"/><ref name="History1990">{{cite news | title = L'historique du club de la saison 1978/1990 | url = http://www.psg.fr/fr/Article/003002/Article/38610/1978-1990 | work = PSG.FR | date = 25 May 2008 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080525204332/http://www.psg.fr/fr/Article/003002/Article/38610/1978-1990 | access-date = 3 July 2025 | archive-date = 25 May 2008 }}</ref><ref name="History2000">{{cite news | title = L'historique du club de la saison 1999/2000 | url = http://www.psg.fr/fr/Article/003002/Article/38611/1990-2000 | work = PSG.FR | date = 25 May 2008 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080528011623/http://www.psg.fr/fr/Article/003002/Article/38611/1990-2000 | access-date = 7 July 2025 | archive-date = 28 May 2008 }}</ref>
At the beginning of the 21st century, the Parisians were struggling to get back to the top despite the magic of Ronaldinho and the goals of Pauleta. Five more trophies followed: three Coupe de France, a Coupe de la Ligue and a UEFA Intertoto Cup, but PSG became better known for struggling through one crisis after another. Inevitably, Canal+ sold the club to Colony Capital in 2006. However, the situation only worsened, and PSG spent the next two seasons avoiding relegation.<ref name="PSG50Years"/><ref name="UEFA"/><ref name="psg70"/><ref name="psgfc"/>
The club's fortunes changed dramatically with the arrival of Qatar Sports Investments, operated by the government of Qatar, as owners in 2011. Since then, PSG have invested heavily in signings of world-class players such as Zlatan Ibrahimović, Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, the latter two being the most expensive transfers in football history. As a result, PSG have dominated French football, winning 38 trophies: twelve league titles, eight Coupe de France, six Coupe de la Ligue and twelve Trophée des Champions. They have also become a regular in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League, reaching the final for the first time in their history in 2020 and winning their first title in 2025 as part of a continental treble.<ref name="PSG50Years"/><ref name="psgfc"/><ref name="Journey">{{cite news | title = PSG's journey from relegation scare to international glory | url = https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/club-world-cup/usa-2025/articles/paris-saint-germain-journey-international-glory | work = FIFA | date = 7 July 2025 | access-date = 12 July 2025}}</ref><ref name="Heartbreak">{{cite news | title = How PSG ended years of continental heartbreak to win the UCL | url = https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/45422925/how-psg-ended-years-continental-heartbreak-win-uefa-champions-league | work = ESPN | date = 1 June 2025 | access-date = 16 June 2025}}</ref><ref name="Treble">{{cite news | title = Paris complete the 11th domestic league, domestic cup and European Cup/UEFA Champions League treble | url = https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0251-0e99b1ba85da-ec8053dc0a29-1000--who-s-won-the-treble/ | work = UEFA | date = 31 May 2025 | access-date = 8 June 2025}}</ref> The reigning European champions also claimed the 2025 UEFA Super Cup and the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup, achieving an unprecedented sextuple.<ref name="Spurs">{{cite news | title = Paris 2-2 Tottenham (4-3 on pens) highlights: Champions League holders secure dramatic comeback win in Super Cup | url = https://www.uefa.com/uefasupercup/news/029c-1e78fea1755d-998a1f7aec21-1000/ | work = UEFA | date = 13 August 2025 | access-date = 14 August 2025}}</ref><ref name="Flamengo">{{cite news | title = PSG topple Flamengo to win Intercontinental Cup | url = https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/intercontinentalcup/2025/articles/paris-saint-germain-flamengo-match-report | work = FIFA | date = 17 December 2025 | access-date = 25 January 2026}}</ref><ref name="Sextuple">{{cite news | title = PSG achieve sextuple thanks to Intercontinental Cup win over Flamengo | url = https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/psg-achieve-sextuple-thanks-intercontinental-100200999.html | work = Yahoo Sports | date = 18 December 2025 | access-date = 25 January 2026}}</ref> On 30 May 2026, PSG retained the UEFA Champions League by defeating Arsenal 4–3 on penalties after a 1–1 draw in the final.<ref name="Reuters2026Final" />

===Anthems and mottos===
"Allez Paris!", recorded by Belgian actress and singer Annie Cordy in 1971, was the club's first official anthem. A dedicated PSG supporter from the very beginning, Cordy was part of an association of hundreds of celebrities who contributed to the club's founding in 1970. At that time, an appeal was made to the public to purchase season tickets at newsstands. A year later, Cordy was named PSG's official godmother and recorded the aforementioned anthem.<ref name="allezparis">{{cite news | title = Allez Paris !

The club's second anthem, "Allez Paris‑Saint‑Germain!" by Les Parisiens, was recorded in 1977, replacing Annie Cordy's original version.

===Crest evolution===
Following the merger of Paris FC (PFC) and Stade Saint-Germain to create Paris Saint-Germain, the club's first crest was the same as the original PFC logo. It featured a blue football and a red sailing ship with its sails billowing in the wind. This ship is a historical symbol of Paris and is present on the city's coat of arms with its motto "Fluctuat nec mergitur" ("[She] is tossed [by the waves], but does not sink").<ref name="crests">{{cite news |title=L'écusson du PSG, évolution du logo à travers notre histoire |url=https://histoiredupsg.fr/lecusson-du-psg-evolution-du-logo-a-travers-notre-histoire |work=Histoire du PSG |date=9 May 2020 |access-date=10 May 2020 |archive-date=13 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200513190304/https://histoiredupsg.fr/lecusson-du-psg-evolution-du-logo-a-travers-notre-histoire |url-status=live }}</ref> After separating from PFC in 1972, PSG needed a new crest. Representing both Paris and Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the club's second crest became the basis of the one fans know today, featuring the Eiffel Tower in red against a blue background and, below, two symbols of Saint-Germain in white: a fleur-de-lis and the cradle of Louis XIV.<ref name="crests"/> This crest was first used in 1972 and was created by Christian Lentretien, a former PSG director and advertising professional.<ref name="crests"/><ref>{{Cite tweet |user=michelkollar |number=1300001029887533056 |title=hommage à Christian Lentretien membre du conseil d'administration du @PSG_inside et président de la commission d'administration et de propagande en 1972.

In 1982, an image of the club's stadium, the Parc des Princes, was added to the bottom of the crest, remaining there until 1990, when it was removed and the crest reverted to its original form.<ref name="crests"/> Two years later, in 1992, the crest was radically modified by the club's owners, Canal+. The new design featured the initials "PSG" in white on a blue, white, red, white, and blue background, mimicking the design of the Hechter shirt, with "Paris Saint-Germain" below, also in white on a black background. Following pressure from the fans, the traditional crest returned in 1995 with "Paris Saint-Germain" above the tower and "1970" below the cradle. In 2002, it underwent a minor modification, primarily the addition of a darker shade of blue.<ref name="crests"/>
At the request of the club's Qatari owners, the traditional crest was significantly redesigned in 2013.<ref name="crests"/> Now, the word "Paris" is written in large, bold white letters above the Eiffel Tower, clearly emphasizing the "Paris" brand rather than "Paris Saint-Germain."

In the 1990s, the rivalry intensified. French media company Canal+ purchased PSG in 1991, partly to challenge Marseille's dominance, while media coverage helped promote the animosity between the clubs. With financial backing and growing media attention, PSG and OM became the main contenders for national honours. Although both teams were less successful in the 2000s, the rivalry remained strong. In the 2010s, PSG's significant investment from Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) allowed the club to dominate domestically, further intensifying the rivalry. Matches regularly draw large crowds, high television audiences, and require heightened security due to passionate fan support.<ref name="rivalry"/><ref name="ompsg"/><ref name="archrivals"/><ref name="fallen">{{cite news |title='Le Classique', French football's fallen icon |url=https://www.france24.com/en/20190316-classique-french-football-psg-marseille-ligue-1 |work=France 24 |date=16 March 2019 |access-date=25 October 2019 |archive-date=25 October 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191025190226/https://www.france24.com/en/20190316-classique-french-football-psg-marseille-ligue-1 |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Paris derby===
{{Main|Paris derby|Paris derby (women)|Football in Paris}}
The Paris derby, also referred to as Derby de Paris, Derby de la Capitale, or Le Derby Parisien, is a French football rivalry contested between PSG and Paris FC (PFC), the two largest professional clubs based in Paris, France. PSG, founded in 1970 through the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain, has grown into the dominant club in both the capital and French football, regularly competing in Ligue 1 and European competitions. Paris FC, which split from PSG in 1972, spent decades in the lower divisions before returning to the top flight in 2025.<ref name="Derby1">{{cite news | title = PSG / Paris FC : 6 choses à savoir sur les deux clubs | url = https://www.paris.fr/pages/psg-paris-fc-6-choses-a-savoir-sur-les-deux-clubs-et-leur-derby-33359 | work = Ville de Paris | date = 29 December 2025 | accessdate = 18 January 2026}}</ref><ref name="Special">{{cite news | title = Special Report: The Paris Derby | url = https://ligue1.com/en/articles/l1_article_1761-special-report-the-paris-derby | work = Ligue 1 | date = 27 January 2025 | access-date = 31 January 2026}}</ref><ref name="Forgotten">{{cite news | title = More Than PSG: The Forgotten History of Football in Paris | url = https://ligue1.com/en/articles/l1_article_4019-more-than-psg-the-forgotten-history-of-football-in-paris | work = Ligue 1 | date = 6 January 2026 | access-date = 31 January 2026}}</ref>

The rivalry traces its roots to the early history of football in the French capital, where historic clubs like Racing Club de France Football and Red Star FC once competed. PSG emerged from efforts by the French Football Federation (FFF) to create a major inner‑city club in the late 1960s, while Paris FC originally remained in Ligue 1 following the 1972 split. PSG quickly established itself as the capital's leading club, taking over the Parc des Princes and embarking on a period of sustained success that left Paris FC largely absent from the top tier. Consequently, first‑team meetings between the two were rare for decades.<ref name="Derby1"/><ref name="Special"/><ref name="Forgotten"/>
Following Paris FC's promotion to Ligue 1 in 2025, the Paris derby returned as a significant fixture in French football. The two clubs' home stadiums—PSG's Parc des Princes and PFC's Stade Jean-Bouin—are separated by only a short distance, creating one of the closest geographic derbies in world football. The first top‑flight meeting since 1990 took place on 4 January 2026 at the Parc des Princes, with PSG winning 2–1 in a closely contested match. A subsequent Coupe de France encounter saw Paris FC secure a 1–0 victory, marking PSG's first home defeat in the competition in several years.<ref name="Forgotten"/><ref name="Different">{{cite news | title = PSG and Paris FC are just 44 metres apart but they live in different worlds | url = https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/jan/05/psg-paris-fc-22-just-metres-apart-worlds-parc-des-princes | work = The Guardian | date = 5 January 2026 | access-date = 1 February 2026}}</ref><ref name="Shine">{{cite news | title = Doué, Dembélé shine for PSG in first Paris derby since 1990 | url = https://www.france24.com/en/sport/20260105-psg-pfc-paris-ligue-1 | work = France 24 | date = 5 January 2026 | access-date = 1 February 2026}}</ref><ref name="FrenchCup2026">{{cite news | title = Ikoné stuns Paris Saint-Germain as Paris FC reach French Cup last 16 | url = https://www.france24.com/en/sport/20260113-ikone-stuns-paris-saint-germain-as-paris-fc-reach-french-cup-last-16 | work = France 24 | date = 13 January 2026 | access-date = 27 January 2026}}</ref>
Beyond the men's game, the Paris derby extends to women's football, where Paris Saint-Germain FC (women) and Paris FC (women) also compete at the highest level, adding further depth to the rivalry. Paris FC, formerly known as Juvisy, was the capital's dominant women's club in the 2000s, while PSG largely dominated the Paris derby (women) during the 2010s. In the early 2020s, Paris FC established itself as the third force in the league, highlighted by their victory over PSG in the 2025 Coupe de France Féminine final.
