'''Paris Football Club''' (French pronunciation: [[Help:IPA/French|[paʁi futbol klœb]]]), commonly referred to as '''Paris FC''' or simply '''PFC''', is a French professional [[Association football|football]] club based in [[Paris]], France. They will compete in [[Ligue 1]], the [[French football league system|top division]] of [[Football in France|French football]], in the [[2025–26 Ligue 1|2025–26]] season, having gained promotion following the [[2024–25 Ligue 2]] season. 

Founded in 1969, the club merged with [[Stade Saint-Germain]] to form [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] in 1970, but it eventually spun-off in 1972. They are nicknamed the ''Les Bleus'' (The Blues) for their shirt colour, and their crest features the [[Eiffel Tower]]. Since 2025, Paris FC has been a resident of the [[Stade Jean-Bouin (Paris)|Stade Jean-Bouin]], located in the [[16th arrondissement of Paris]].

After the club split from Paris Saint-Germain, unlike their counterpart, they struggled to establish themselves in the ranks of French football, playing mostly in the amateur divisions before regaining professional status in 2015. Following a decade in [[Ligue 2]], they were promoted back to Ligue 1 in 2025 after a 46-year absence.

Since 2024, Paris FC have been majority-owned by the [[Bernard Arnault|Arnault family]]'s Agache Sport, which currently holds 52.4% of the shares. Austrian conglomerate [[Red Bull GmbH]] owns 10.6%, [[Pierre Ferracci|Alter Paris]] led by [[Pierre Ferracci]] owns 29.8%, and [[Subaskaran Allirajah|BRI Sports Holdings]] owns 7.2% of the club's shares.

{{Main|History of Paris FC}}

===Foundation and split (1969–1972)===
[[File:GC30.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[Guy Crescent]], one of PFC's founding fathers.]]
In January 1969, the [[French Football Federation]] (FFF) initiated a plan to establish a major club in Paris, as the capital lacked a top-tier football team. To lead this effort, a dedicated committee was formed, headed by [[Fernand Sastre]], [[Henri Patrelle]], and [[Guy Crescent]].<ref name="riolo1">{{cite book |last=Riolo |first=Daniel |title=Le Dictionnaire du PSG |publisher=Hugo Sport |year=2014 |chapter=Introduction: "Le PSG, un trentenaire show-biz"}}</ref> A month later, the FFF launched a public campaign with the slogan "Yes to a great football club in Paris", distributing ballots through newspapers and at stadiums across the Paris region. The campaign yielded around 60,000 responses, with "Paris Football Club" (or "Football-Club de Paris") emerging as the favorite name among the public. The first general assembly of Paris FC, officially created the club, two presidents were appointed: Guy Crescent and [[Pierre-Étienne Guyot]].<ref name="sport24">{{cite news |last=Coffin |first=Xavier |title=Why PSG is called Paris Saint-Germain |url=https://sport24.lefigaro.fr/football/ligue-1/actualites/pourquoi-le-psg-s-appelle-paris-saint-germain-710402 |work=Sport24 |date=24 September 2014 |access-date=11 May 2025}}</ref> Crescent, Guyot, and Patrelle soon faced significant financial hurdles in moving the project forward.

===Struggles and rebrandings (1972–2007)===
At the start of the [[1972–73 French Division 1|1972–73 season]], Paris FC were in the top flight, playing at the [[Parc des Princes]].<ref name="derbyredstar">{{cite web |title=FOOT: Red Star - Paris FC, 40 years of derby |url= http://www.leparisien.fr/sports/iledefrance/foot-paris-fc-red-star-40-ans-de-derby-28-02-2013-2605775.php |work=leparisien.fr |date=28 February 2013 |access-date=21 February 2015}}</ref> Bound by professional contracts, most players, including captain [[Jean Djorkaeff]] and [[Bernard Guignedoux]], stayed with the club.<ref name="psg70"/> Two seasons later, PFC were relegated to Division 2 as PSG rose to the top flight and claimed the Parc.<ref name="schilcher">{{cite web |title=When a European Champion signs with PFC… |url=http://www.parisfootballclub.com/club/pfc-story-quand-un-champion-deurope-signe-au-pfc/ |work=parisfootballclub.com |date=27 January 2015 |access-date=20 February 2015 |author=Philippe Descottes }}</ref> Exiled to the rundown Stade de la Porte de Montreuil and stripped of professional status, PFC fielded a squad of local and reserve players under [[Antoine Dalla Cieca]].

[[File:Victoire Matra - Jean-Luc Lagardère.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Jean-Luc Lagardère]], one of PFC's owners.]]

In 1996, the club became "Paris FC 2000",<ref name="nom"/> remained in Division 3, and became a founding member of the Championnat National. Relegated in 2000 to the [[Championnat de France amateur]], the club reverted to "Paris Football Club" in 2005.

== Identity ==
=== Denomination ===
The identity of Paris FC has evolved significantly since its creation, shaped by mergers, political influence, and rebranding efforts to reinforce its association with the French capital. Initially formed in 1969 through a French Football Federation (FFF) initiative to establish a major Parisian club, Paris FC merged in 1970 with Stade Saint-Germain to form Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). However, the union was short-lived. In 1972, under pressure from the Paris City Council—which refused to support a club based outside the city and demanded a more Parisian identity—the two entities split.<ref name="psg70"/><ref name="canalhistorique">{{cite web |title=Le divorce Paris FC - PSG |url=https://www.paris-canalhistorique.com/1972-le-divorce-entre-le-paris-fc-et-le-psg/ |website=Paris.canal-historique |accessdate=11 May 2025}}</ref>

In the following years, Paris FC undertook several identity changes to strengthen its connection with Paris. During a brief return to the top flight in 1978–79, the club temporarily rebranded as "Paris 1" with backing from Europe 1 radio and the city council.<ref name="thinesclaude">{{cite web |title=Paris FC, le club oublié de la capitale |url=https://thinesclaude.wixsite.com/paris-fc|website=ThinesClaude.com |accessdate=11 May 2025}}</ref> In the early 1980s, the club again changed its name to "Racing Paris 1" after merging with Racing Club de France's first team, a move driven by businessman Jean-Luc Lagardère’s ambition to create a dominant Parisian club.<ref name="allezracing">{{cite web |title=Histoire du Racing Club de France Football |url=http://www.allezracing.com/historique.htm|website=Allez Racing |accessdate=11 May 2025}}</ref> The merger left the original Paris FC entity relegated to the amateur divisions under the name "Paris Football Club 83". Further branding efforts followed in the 1990s: in 1991, the club became "Paris FC 98" to align with France's bid to host the 1998 FIFA World Cup,<ref name="lhumanite">{{cite news |title=Paris FC 98 repart à zéro |url=https://www.humanite.fr/node/113233|newspaper=L’Humanité |date=22 June 1992 |accessdate=11 May 2025}}</ref> and in 1996, it was renamed "Paris FC 2000",<ref name="thinesclaude" /> before eventually, in 2005, the club returned to its original name, "Paris Football Club".

===Colours===
Paris FC's club colors have evolved significantly since its inception, reflecting its complex history and identity. Initially, following the 1970 merger with Stade Saint-Germain to form Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the team adopted red and blue to represent Paris and white to symbolize the royal town of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. After the 1972 split from PSG, Paris FC chose orange kits, influenced by their sponsor [[Bic (company)|Bic]], marking a period of corporate branding but also a departure from the club's earlier colors.<ref>{{cite web|title=PSG70: Histoire du Paris Saint Germain|url=http://psg70.free.fr/historique.htm|access-date=28 March 2018|website=psg70.free.fr|archive-date=8 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170608011115/http://psg70.free.fr/historique.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the club switched to [[sky blue]], a nod to its historical ties with Racing Club de France, whose colors were sky blue.<ref>{{cite web|title=Paris Football Club|url=http://histoire.maillots.free.fr/football_francais/paris_fc.html|website=histoire.maillots.free.fr|access-date=21 February 2015|archive-date=27 November 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231127003433/http://histoire.maillots.free.fr/football_francais/paris_fc.html|url-status=live}}</ref> In the early 2000s, Paris FC moved to [[navy blue|dark navy blue]], a color that connects to Paris's historical symbolism, notably through the [[Eiffel Tower]] and [[Coat of arms of Paris|Paris's coat of arms]], both of which use similar tones.<ref>{{cite web|title=Grandes Equipes Paris FC|url=http://www.pari-et-gagne.com/equipe/equipe-parisfc.html|website=pari-et-gagne.com|access-date=23 January 2015|archive-date=1 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230301022647/http://www.pari-et-gagne.com/equipe/equipe-parisfc.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Crest evolution===
The club's first crest was consisted of a blue football  features a minimalist circular design centered around a stylized white [[Carrack|nave]], a direct reference to the coat of arms of the city of Paris. The nave symbolizes the Nautes, a powerful guild of boatmen and merchants who managed the Parisian municipality during the Middle Ages. The surrounding circle is blue with red and white outlines, subtly echoing the French tricolore, reinforcing the club’s identity as deeply Parisian and French.<ref name="parisArms">{{cite web |title=Histoire des armes de Paris |url=https://www.paris.fr/pages/histoire-des-armes-de-paris-246 |website=paris.fr |publisher=Ville de Paris |access-date=14 May 2025}}</ref><ref name="jones1">{{cite book |last=Jones |first=Colin |title=Paris: Biography of a City |publisher=Penguin Books |year=2006 |chapter=The Middle Ages: Guilds and Government}}</ref><ref name="pfcHistory">{{cite web |title=Paris FC – Histoire du club |url=https://parisfootballclub.com/club/histoire/ |website=Paris FC |access-date=14 May 2025}}</ref>

In the 1990s and 2000s, Paris FC adopted a more ornate and complex crest shaped like a stylized football, the badge incorporated dark blue and black tones. At the top of the crest, a detailed rendering of the Eiffel Tower asserting the club's Parisian identity, while the central nave remained as a consistent symbol of the city's medieval and municipal legacy.<ref name="pfcVisual">{{cite web |title=Logos de clubs de football français |url=https://maillots-footactu.fr/logos-clubs-football/ |website=Maillots Foot Actu |access-date=14 May 2025}}</ref><ref name="brandingSymbols">{{cite journal |last=Waller |first=Vincent |title=Branding the Game: Identity and Heritage in Football Crests |journal=International Review for the Sociology of Sport |volume=48 |issue=4 |year=2013 |pages=540–557}}</ref><ref name="pfcEiffel">{{cite web |title=Les symboles du Paris FC: de la Seine à la Tour Eiffel |url=https://footixstory.com/paris-fc-symboles-logo/ |website=Footix Story |access-date=14 May 2025}}</ref> 

From 2011 onwards, Paris FC introduced a logo is shaped like a navy blue shield with rounded sky blue contours, exuding a professional and polished appearance. A stylized Eiffel Tower dominated the design, rendered in a minimalist and elegant line form, reinforcing the club's deep connection to the city of Paris. At the base of the crest, the nave reappeared once more, with the "Paris FC" written on top.<ref name="pfc2011logo">{{cite web |title=Paris FC dévoile son nouveau logo |url=https://parisfootballclub.com/club/nouveau-logo-2011/ |website=Paris FC |date=12 July 2011 |access-date=14 May 2025}}</ref><ref name="crestTrends">{{cite book |last=Foster |first=Neil |title=The Football Crest Index |publisher=Floodlit Dreams |year=2018 |chapter=Paris FC}}</ref><ref name="psgInfluence">{{cite web |title=How PSG Built a Global Brand |url=https://www.sportspromedia.com/insights/analysis/paris-saint-germain-global-brand-football-ligue-1-qatar/ |website=SportsPro Media |access-date=14 May 2025}}</ref>

==Grounds==
===Stadiums===
Since its founding, Paris FC has played in several stadiums, most notably the [[Parc des Princes]], Stade Déjerine, [[Stade Charléty]], and, more recently, the [[Stade Jean-Bouin (Paris)|Stade Jean-Bouin]]. The club played its home games at the newly rebuilt Parc des Princes from 1972 to 1974, and again in 1978–79, during its brief spells in Division 1, sharing the ground with Paris Saint-Germain at the time.<ref>{{cite web|title=Paris-fc Saison 1974|url=http://www.footballstats.fr/Paris-fc-saison-1974.html|access-date=7 January 2015|website=footballstats.fr}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Paris-fc Saison 1979|url=http://www.footballstats.fr/Paris-fc-saison-1979.html|access-date=7 January 2015|website=footballstats.fr}}</ref> Following the club's relegation in 1974, the team moved to the aging Stade de la Porte de Montreuil, later renamed Stade Déjerine, a modest ground with limited capacity. Paris FC remained there for many years, despite suffering from poor facilities and even a fire that destroyed the dressing rooms during the 1974–75 season.<ref>{{cite web|title=Déjerine, un stade à part|url=http://www.leparisien.fr/hauts-de-seine/dejerine-un-stade-a-part-16-09-2006-2007334781.php|access-date=18 January 2015|website=leparisien.fr|date=16 September 2006|author=Stéphane Corby}}</ref>

In 1999, Paris FC temporarily moved to the Stade Charléty as part of a bid to return to professional football, but after relegation, they returned to Déjerine until 2007.<ref>{{cite web|title=Le Paris FC jouera à Charlety|url=https://www.20minutes.fr/sport/165722-20070620-paris-fc-jouera-a-charlety|access-date=18 January 2015|website=20minutes.fr|date=20 June 2007}}</ref> That year, they permanently settled at Stade Charléty, and in 2013, due to low attendance and loosened FFF regulations, the club returned again to Déjerine for a short period.<ref>{{cite web|title=Le Paris FC retrouve son jardin|url=http://www.leparisien.fr/espace-premium/essonne-91/le-paris-fc-retrouve-son-jardin-16-08-2013-3056165.php|access-date=29 December 2014|website=leparisien.fr|date=16 August 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Foot – National – Le Paris FC déménage à Déjérine|url=http://www.sportsco-idf.fr/football/foot-national-le-paris-fc-demenage-a-dejerine_8033|access-date=29 December 2014|website=sportsco-idf.fr|date=5 August 2013}}</ref>

In February 2025, Paris FC reached a landmark agreement with Stade Français to move into the Stade Jean-Bouin starting in the 2025–26 season. Located in the 16th arrondissement, Jean-Bouin offers a more enclosed and football-friendly environment. The move was strongly supported by Red Bull's Head of Global Soccer [[Jürgen Klopp]], who pushed for the change due to Charléty’s poor matchday experience. Klopp believed the distant seating and track at Charléty diminished both fan engagement and player performance. The move aligned with Red Bull's football vision to build an intense and supportive home atmosphere and elevate Paris FC’s competitive stature in French football.<ref>{{cite web|title=Paris FC to move to Stade Jean-Bouin from 2025–26 season|url=https://example.com/paris-fc-jean-bouin-move|access-date=14 May 2025|website=example.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-05-10 |title=Jürgen Klopp: Paris FC move 'exciting new challenge' |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cwy855222pjo |access-date=2025-05-14 |website=BBC Sport |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Soccer Dispatch |date=2025-05-08 |title=Paris FC is Jürgen Klopp's First Project Since Liverpool |url=https://thesoccerdispatch.substack.com/p/paris-fc-is-jurgen-klopps-first-project |access-date=2025-05-14 |website=The Soccer Dispatch |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Romero |first=Andrés |date=2025-05-06 |title=París desafía al PSG |url=https://as.com/futbol/internacional/paris-desafia-al-psg-n-2/ |access-date=2025-05-14 |website=AS |language=es}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-05-09 |title=Paris FC – Klopp salue une « réussite extraordinaire » (Exclu) |url=https://sports.orange.fr/football/ligue-2/paris-fc/article/paris-fc-klopp-salue-une-reussite-extraordinaire-exclu-CNT000002iHpnw.html |access-date=2025-05-14 |website=Orange Sports |language=fr}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-05-11 |title=Paris Poised for a Thrilling Soccer Rivalry as Ambitions Rise |url=https://azscore.com/news/football/2543888-paris-poised-for-a-thrilling-soccer-rivalry-as-ambitions-rise |access-date=2025-05-14 |website=AZScore |language=en}}</ref>

== Supporters ==
The club used to be the biggest and most well supported in the city, with over 20,000 supporter members at the time of the club's formation.<ref>{{cite web|title=PSG70: Histoire du Paris Saint Germain|url=http://psg70.free.fr/historique.htm|access-date=28 March 2018|website=psg70.free.fr|archive-date=8 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170608011115/http://psg70.free.fr/historique.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1970 the club merged with Stade Saint-Germain to form [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.]], but quickly left the merger. In the 1973 season, the first after leaving, the club still averaged an attendance of 13,202.<ref>{{cite web|title=Paris-fc saison 1972 / 1973|url=http://www.footballstats.fr/Paris-fc-saison-1973.html|access-date=28 March 2018|website=www.footballstats.fr|archive-date=24 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211224004550/http://www.footballstats.fr/Paris-fc-saison-1973.html|url-status=live}}</ref> However, after that, the two clubs' fortunes varied drastically, and as PSG's popularity rose, PFC fell into obscurity and languished in the amateur divisions. It is only when it reached the [[Championnat National|third tier]] its popularity started growing again. The club currently attracts thousands of fans for each league match.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attn/archive/fra/avefra24.htm |title=League Attendance – Archive France 2023–24 |website=european-football-statistics.co.uk |access-date=20 February 2025}}</ref>

In the 2000s the club had a [[supporter group]] called ''Blue Wolves'' founded in 2008. Officially [[apolitical]], they tended to have [[right-wing]] views. However they were disbanded in 2010 after several [[football hooliganism|hooligan incidents]] occurred, the last of which during a match against [[FC Gueugnon|Gueugnon]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Concernant les Blue Wolves [Paris FC]|url=http://www.camperemu.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=25942|access-date=28 March 2018|website=www.camperemu.com|archive-date=3 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303234138/http://www.camperemu.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=25942|url-status=usurped}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Les hooligans du PFC|url=http://www.sofoot.com/les-hooligans-du-pfc-126677.html|access-date=28 March 2018|website=SOFOOT.com|date=22 May 2010 |archive-date=13 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180213022503/http://www.sofoot.com/les-hooligans-du-pfc-126677.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|date=22 May 2010|title=Des hooligans gâchent la sortie du PFC - Le Parisien|url=http://www.leparisien.fr/sports/iledefrance/des-hooligans-gachent-la-sortie-du-pfc-22-05-2010-931865.php|access-date=23 April 2017|publisher=Leparisien.fr|archive-date=22 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170322111141/http://www.leparisien.fr/sports/iledefrance/des-hooligans-gachent-la-sortie-du-pfc-22-05-2010-931865.php|url-status=live}}</ref>

They were replaced by the group ''Old Clan'', founded in 2010, and [[ultras]] group ''Ultras Lutetia'' founded in the summer of 2014.

The fans have a friendship with fans of [[SR Colmar|Colmar]], [[Hereford F.C.|Hereford]] and in the past also fans of [[Stade de Reims|Reims]].

The club has rivalries with fellow neighbours [[US Créteil-Lusitanos|Créteil]] and Red Star.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Home • whatsthefoot.com|url=https://www.whatsthefoot.com/|website=whatsthefoot.com|access-date=9 January 2021|archive-date=12 April 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220412032643/https://www.whatsthefoot.com/|url-status=live}}</ref> with whom they contest the [[Football derbies in France|Parisian derbies]].<ref>{{cite web|title=On a assisté au derby Paris FC-Red Star|url=http://www.sofoot.com/on-a-assiste-au-derby-paris-fc-red-star-211547.html|access-date=28 March 2018|website=SOFOOT.com|date=8 November 2015 |archive-date=29 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180329054158/http://www.sofoot.com/on-a-assiste-au-derby-paris-fc-red-star-211547.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Although both clubs are officially apolitical, due to Red Star fans [[left-wing]] political tendencies and PFC's past [[right-wing]] political tendencies, the derby is particularly fierce. The derby with Créteil is a geographical one as both clubs played in the southern suburbs of Paris.
