Poissy Massy and Princes Le PSG clash over PSG’s undecided future stadium
In a quiet office at the Parc des Princes, the echo of a recent interview reverberated through Paris Saint-Germain’s boardroom: the club still has not chosen where it will play after the current lease ends. The debate now centres on three options – the historic Parc des Princes, a new arena at Poissy or another at Massy – and no decision has been taken.
Architectural heritage fuels the dispute
Sophie Taillibert, daughter of the late Roger Taillibert – the architect behind the Porte d’Auteuil stadium – spoke to Le Parisien, warning that any alteration to the Parc could damage her father’s legacy. “The proposed modifications could compromise the architectural integrity of the work,” she said, adding that her opposition is “not a caprice” but a moral duty as guardian of the masterpiece.
Club’s timetable and next steps
Paris Saint-Germain has accelerated studies on its current ground, even narrowing a slight delay in the three‑site assessments. Yet Taillibert’s comments have not altered the club’s progress on a possible stay at the Parc. A second steering committee is scheduled for 16 October, which is expected to be the final meeting before the analysis phase begins in the coming weeks.
Jerôme Rothen confirmed on RMC that all three proposals remain on the table and that the European champions will announce a preference before the Christmas period. The club has already consulted its supporters, launching a large‑scale survey in October to gauge match‑day habits.
Should negotiations with the Paris municipality to purchase the Parc fall through, the club has been exploring a larger, more modern stadium in Île‑de‑France for several months. Les supporters, meanwhile, watch the saga unfold, aware that the decision will shape the identity of the capital’s flagship team for years to come.
