Paris FC

Paris Football Club is a French professional football club based in Paris. Founded in 1969, the club shares a rich and intertwined history with Paris Saint-Germain, as the two clubs originally merged in 1970 before splitting in 1972. Paris FC plays at the Stade Sebastien Charlety, a 20,000-seat venue in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. After decades in the lower divisions of French football, Paris FC earned promotion to Ligue 1 for the 2025-26 season, marking their return to the top flight for the first time since the early 1970s. The club has undergone a significant transformation under ambitious ownership, highlighted by the high-profile signing of Ciro Immobile, the legendary Lazio and Italy striker, along with Jonathan Ikone, Moses Simon, and Jean-Philippe Krasso. Paris FC operates with a long-term vision to establish itself as a sustainable top-flight club in the capital city, offering an alternative football identity to PSG. The club's remarkable ascent represents one of the most compelling stories in recent French football history.
