Paris Football Club (French pronunciation: [paʁi futbol klœb]), commonly referred to as Paris FC or simply PFC, is a French professional football club based in Paris, France, which competes in Ligue 1, the top division of French football. Founded in 1969, the club merged with Stade Saint-Germain to form 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 playing at the Stade Jean-Bouin, located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris across the street from Paris Saint-Germain’s Parc des Princes. 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 the 2024-25 season as runners up after a 46-year absence. Since 2024, Paris FC have been majority-owned by the Arnault family's Agache Sport, which currently holds 52.4% of the shares. Austrian conglomerate Red Bull GmbH owns 10.6%, Alter Paris led by Pierre Ferracci owns 29.8%, and BRI Sports Holdings owns 7.2% of the club's shares.

Paris Saint-Germain FC

Paris Saint-Germain Football Club (French pronunciation: [paʁi sɛ̃ ʒɛʁmɛ̃]), commonly referred to as Paris Saint-Germain or simply PSG, is a professional football club based in Paris, France. They compete in Ligue 1, the top division of French football. Founded in 1970, following the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain, PSG have the most consecutive seasons playing in France's top flight. They are the most popular football club in France and one of the most widely supported teams in the world. They are nicknamed the Les Rouge-et-Bleu (The Red-and-Blues), for the shirt colour that also includes white, and their crest features the Eiffel Tower and a fleur-de-lis. The team has a longstanding rivalry with Marseille, against whom they contest Le Classique. PSG have played their home matches in the 48,000-capacity Parc des Princes in Paris since 1973, located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris near the Boulogne-Billancourt commune. PSG is known for its bling-bling policy, which involves signing the world's best players, following the financial growth supported by PSG's Qatari owners, including the high-profile signings such as Zlatan Ibrahimović, Neymar, Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi, with Neymar and Mbappé breaking the world transfer records. PSG have recently relaxed the bling-bling policy, instead focusing on signing young talents such as Vitinha, João Neves, Bradley Barcola and Nuno Mendes. They won their first major honour, the French Cup, in 1982 and their first Division 1 title in 1986. The 1990s was among the most successful periods in the club's history. After suffering a decline in fortunes during the 2000s, the Red and Blues have enjoyed a revival since 2011 when they were taken over by Qatar Sports Investments. With considerable financial investment, the team has achieved unparalleled dominance in domestic competitions, winning multiple league titles and national cups and became a regular feature in the UEFA Champions League. With 50 major trophies won, they are the most decorated club in France. They have won 48 domestic trophies: a record 12 Ligue 1 titles, a record 15 Coupe de France, a record 9 Coupe de la Ligue, and record 12 Trophée des Champions. Internationally, they won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996 – unique feat in French football – and were runners-up in 1997, making them one of two French clubs to have won a major European title. They also won the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2001 and were runners-up in the 2019–20 UEFA Champions League. Since 2011, Paris Saint-Germain have been majority-owned by Qatari government-backed investment fund Qatar Sports Investments, which currently holds 87.5% of the shares. American investment firm Arctos Partners owns the remaining 12.5%. PSG are the richest club in France and one of the wealthiest in the world. PSG currently have the third-highest revenue in the footballing world with annual earnings of €802m according to Deloitte, and are the world's seventh-most valuable football club, worth $4.21 billion according to Forbes.
