PSG Stadium: Club to Choose Between Parc des Princes and New Site on December 20

Paris Saint-Germain has set December 20 as the date to designate a “priority” site in its future stadium project, L’Équipe revealed on Friday. The club’s management, led by chief executive Victoriano Melero, will not render a final verdict on this occasion, but the choice will allow in-depth studies to be guided while keeping other options open.

Starting in early 2027, PSG will enter formal negotiations with the local authorities of the selected site to structure commitments on building permits, financing and transport infrastructure. Three options remain in contention: the Parc des Princes in Paris, and sites in Massy (Essonne) and Poissy (Yvelines).

Parc des Princes Regains Advantage

The warming of relations with Paris’s city hall, now led by Emmanuel Grégoire, restores the Parc des Princes to favorite status. The project envisions a major expansion increasing capacity from 48,000 to 70,000 seats. Two obstacles remain: a sale agreement with the City of Paris and complex architectural constraints. In the event of major construction work, the club does not rule out a temporary move to Stade de France.

Poissy and Massy: More Ambitious but More Constrained Projects

Located near the club’s new training center, the Poissy project plans an ultra-modern stadium with 80,000 to 90,000 capacity. The municipality says it is open to the idea, but demands strict guarantees on road accessibility, safety and preservation of the local industrial fabric, notably the Stellantis site.

The Massy option also proposes a large-capacity facility, around 80,000 seats, built on a commercial zone. However, this project faces significant development constraints and opposition from several local citizen groups.

The December 20 announcement will not therefore close the debate, but it will give for the first time a clear direction to one of the most significant projects in the club’s history.
