Paris Saint-Germain Paris Saint-Germain was founded in 1970 through the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain. The club has won a record 14 French league titles (Ligue 1), 16 Coupe de France trophies and 9 League Cups — the most of any team in French football history. On the European stage, the Parisians lifted the Cup Winners' Cup in 1996, and in 2025 and 2026 they won back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles, becoming the first French club ever to do so.
The most memorable match in the club's history remains the Champions League final of 31 May 2025 in Munich, where PSG thrashed Inter Milan 5-0, the biggest winning margin ever recorded in a major European final. A year later, on 30 May 2026 in Budapest, the team defended the title, beating Arsenal on penalties after a 1-1 draw. A defining turning point came in 2011, when Qatar Sports Investments acquired the club, ushering in an era of domestic dominance.
The club's shirt has been worn by players such as Zlatan Ibrahimović, Edinson Cavani, Neymar Jr and Lionel Messi, while Kylian Mbappé remains PSG's all-time top scorer. The team has been led for several seasons by Spanish coach Luis Enrique, with Marquinhos as captain — the club's most decorated player ever, with more than 40 trophies won in a PSG shirt; the side was previously managed by, among others, Laurent Blanc. In 2025, Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembélé confirmed the club's status among the world's elite, while in the Munich final young Désiré Doué shone with two goals and an assist.
Since 1974, PSG has played its home matches at the Parc des Princes, a stadium with a capacity of just under 48,000. The club's operating model combines vast transfer budgets with the development of local talent from the Paris region, including academy graduates Warren Zaïre-Emery and Presnel Kimpembe.
