Reviewing construction of a new Stadium · 11:45am February 17th
Paris Saint-Germain prepare to move.
"Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will leave its home stadium, Parc des Princes, for the first time in 50 years," Germany's Sport said on the 9th.
The Parc des Princes is a large stadium located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris and was built in 1972. It is one of the main French stadiums, with a capacity of more than 50,000 at the time of its completion, but it has been reduced to around 48,000 since renovation work for safety and modernization.
Parc des Princes is a stadium where not only PSG matches but also various international matches such as the French national team matches and the UEFA Champions League take place. The stadium is owned by the city of Paris, not PSG.
However, PSG is expected to leave the stadium soon.
"PSG is expected to leave the stadium after about 50 years. PSG has already said goodbye to the stadium," Sport said.
The media then reported PSG Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who said, "I want to stop here. We want to leave the stadium."
"We know what we want. We wasted years buying this stadium," he said, shaking his head.
According to media reports, PSG has attempted to buy the stadium to expand the size of its home stadium to more than 60,000 seats. However, the city of Paris has refused to sell the stadium.
Sport added, "Since 1974, PSG has been using this stadium as its home ground. Currently, PSG is considering ways to build a new stadium in another area of Paris." 스포츠토토
