Paris Saint-Germain gender equality legal dispute

Overview

The Paris Administrative Court upheld a fine of approximately 2.7 million euros against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for failing to meet professional gender equality standards. The penalty, totaling 2,728,468 euros, originated from a March 2024 decision by the Île-de-France labor inspectorate.

The sanction was issued following three consecutive years of insufficient results on the professional equality index, which tracks disparities in pay, promotions, and internal increases. A key factor identified was the lack of female representation among the club’s ten highest earners.

PSG contested the fine, arguing that the high salaries of male professional footballers “mechanically skew the index” and limit the club’s ability to influence the metric through standard HR policies. The court rejected this argument, stating that such a distinction would undermine the purpose of the index. The club maintains it has been in compliance with its obligations since 2023.
