Overview

  • Mayor Anne Hidalgo reiterated that Paris will not sell the Parc des Princes but is open to capacity expansion via a multi-decade lease.
  • PSG has outgrown its 2044-expiring lease and has engaged ten regional sites, with a formal announcement on its chosen location expected soon.
  • Poissy and Massy have emerged as frontrunners for a potential new PSG stadium, backed by regional land reservations.
  • The stadium dispute has injected a key topic into Paris’s 2026 municipal elections, prompting proposals from citizen referendums to extended leases.
  • Hidalgo’s absence from the Munich final and Paris celebrations drew criticism from political rivals and intensified calls to settle the club’s stadium future.
