'''Paris Saint-Germain Football Club''', commonly referred to as '''Paris Saint-Germain''' ({{IPA|fr|paʁi sɛ̃ʒɛʁmɛ̃|lang}}, {{tooltip|ult. ref.|ultimately referring to}} "Saint [[Germain of Paris|Germanus]]") or simply '''PSG''', '''Paris''' or '''Paris SG''', are a French professional [[Association football|football]] club based in [[Paris]]. Founded in 1970, following the merger of [[Paris FC]] and [[Stade Saint-Germain]], they compete in [[Ligue 1]], the [[French football league system|top division]] of [[Football in France|French football]]. PSG play their home matches in the 47,929-capacity [[Parc des Princes]] in Paris. With [[List of football clubs by competitive honours won|56 trophies won]], they are the [[Football records and statistics in France#Total titles won (1918–present)|most decorated club in France]]. PSG are the most popular football club in France and one of the most widely supported teams in the world. The team has a longstanding rivalry with [[Olympique de Marseille|Marseille]], against whom they contest [[Le Classique]].

The Parisians won their first major title, the [[Coupe de France]], in 1982 and their first Ligue 1 title in 1986. The 1990s were one of the most successful periods in the club's history, with their second league title in 1994 and their first European trophy, the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]] in [[1996 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final|1996]]. After a decline in fortunes during the 2000s, a recovery began in the 2010s when they were acquired by [[Qatar Sports Investments]]. With significant investment, PSG won multiple league titles and national cups, becoming a regular in the [[UEFA Champions League]]. They won their first Champions League in [[2025 UEFA Champions League final|2025]] as part of a [[Treble (association football)|continental treble]].

PSG have won 52 domestic trophies: a record 13 [[Ligue 1]] titles, one [[Ligue 2]] title, a record 16 Coupe de France, a record 9 [[Coupe de la Ligue]], and a record 13 [[Trophée des Champions]]. Internationally, they have won five trophies: the Champions League in 2025, becoming the second French club to win the title; the Cup Winners' Cup in 1996, becoming the only French team to do so; the [[UEFA Intertoto Cup]] in [[2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup|2001]];  the [[UEFA Super Cup]] in [[2025 UEFA Super Cup|2025]] and the [[FIFA Intercontinental Cup]] in [[2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup|2025]], becoming the first French side to win these competitions. PSG are one of two French clubs to have won a [[List of UEFA club competition winners|major European title]], and the first to win the continental treble; they are also the first and only French club to be considered a [[List_of_world_champion_football_clubs#By_country|world champion]].

Since 2011, PSG have been majority-owned by Qatari government-backed investment fund Qatar Sports Investments, which held 87.5% of the shares by 2012 while American investment firm Arctos Partners owned the remaining 12.5%. PSG are the richest club in France and one of the wealthiest in the world. In January 2025, PSG had the [[Deloitte Football Money League|third-highest revenue in the footballing world]] with annual earnings of €806m according to [[Deloitte]], and were [[Forbes' list of the most valuable football clubs|the world's seventh-most valuable football club]], worth $4.4bn according to [[Forbes]].

==History==

{{Main|History of Paris Saint-Germain FC}}

[[File:Neymar Jr presentation - Press conference for PSG 001.jpg|thumb|right|350px|PSG regained prominence thanks to the Qatari takeover in 2011 and high-profile signings such as [[Neymar]].]]

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 [[French Division 3 (1971–1993)|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

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 [[1981–82 Coupe de France|1982]] and [[1982–83 Coupe de France|1983]], and their first Ligue 1 title in [[1985–86 French Division 1|1986]]. A steep decline followed, but the takeover by [[Canal+ (French TV channel)|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 [[1993–94 French Division 1|second league title in 1994]] and the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]] in [[1995–96 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup|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

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 [[DigitalBridge|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]] 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 [[List of most expensive association football transfers|most expensive transfers in football history]]. As a result, PSG have dominated French football, winning 37 trophies: eleven league titles, eight Coupe de France, six Coupe de la Ligue and eleven [[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 UEFA Champions League final|2020]] and winning their first title in [[2025 UEFA Champions League final|2025]].<ref name="PSG50Years"/><ref name="psgfc"/><ref name="Journey">{{cite news

===Anthems and mottos===

{{further|Paris Saint-Germain FC supporters#Anthems and mottos}}

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

===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 of France|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+ (French TV channel)|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." Below, "Saint-Germain" is written in smaller letters beneath the fleur-de-lis.<ref name="richest">{{Cite news |title=Can Paris Saint-Germain become the world's richest sports club? |url=https://www.ft.com/content/ae88a0b2-b53a-11e3-af92-00144feabdc0 |work=Financial Times |date=28 March 2014 |access-date=13 July 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150714142147/http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/ae88a0b2-b53a-11e3-af92-00144feabdc0.html |archive-date=14 July 2015 }}</ref><ref name="dragon">{{cite news |title=PSG dreams bigger with its new brand logo by Dragon Rouge |url=https://www.dragonrouge.com/work/paris-st-germain/ |work=Dragon Rouge |date=22 February 2013 |access-date=8 March 2019 |archive-date=16 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181116191458/https://www.dragonrouge.com/work/paris-st-germain/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The cradle of Louis XIV and the club's founding year, "1970," have been omitted.<ref name="dragon"/> PSG deputy general manager [[Jean-Claude Blanc]] stated: "We are called Paris Saint-Germain but, above all, we are called Paris".<ref name="richest"/>

After winning 6 trophies in 2025 (Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Trophée des Champions, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup), Paris Saint-Germain became the third club after [[FC Barcelona]] in 2009 and [[Bayern Munich]] in 2020 to achieve a [[Sextuple (association football)|sextuple]]. 

They only missed the opportunity to do a septuple by losing against [[Chelsea FC]] in the [[FIFA Club World Cup 2025]] final.
