PSG Considers Leaving Parc des Princes Over Stadium Size Constraints

Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi cites the city's refusal to sell the stadium and the need for a larger venue to remain competitive in Europe.

  • PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi announced plans to build a new stadium, stating that the club needs a larger venue to compete with European rivals.
  • The Parc des Princes, owned by the city of Paris, has a capacity of 48,000 seats, which Al-Khelaifi argues is insufficient compared to other major European clubs' 80,000-90,000 seat stadiums.
  • Al-Khelaifi criticized the city for refusing to sell the Parc des Princes, leaving the club with no choice but to explore alternative locations for a new 60,000-seat stadium.
  • Potential sites for the new stadium include the Saint-Cloud racecourse, Montigny-le-Bretonneux, and Aulnay-sous-Bois, with a decision expected by mid-2025.
  • The club aims to complete the new stadium within 3-4 years to avoid falling behind other European teams in infrastructure and revenue potential.
