Paris Saint-Germain accelerates decision on future stadium site
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is accelerating its decision-making process regarding the future site of its home stadium. The club is currently evaluating three primary options: staying at the Parc des Princes, building a new stadium in Poissy, or relocating to Massy.
Following the election of Emmanuel Grégoire as Mayor of Paris, the option to remain at the Parc des Princes has gained significant momentum. The club is exploring a major renovation and expansion of the current venue, potentially increasing its capacity from 48,000 to between 60,000 and 70,000 seats. This plan includes modernizing the facility and improving local infrastructure.
Key steering committees are scheduled for October to assess the feasibility of the alternative sites, with meetings set for Poissy on October 13 and Massy on October 16. PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi aims to reach a definitive decision by late October or early November. A final project could see an inauguration as early as 2035, following necessary permits and construction phases.
