Paris FC Makes Ligue 1 Return After 46 Years, Joining PSG for First Time Since 1979

Paris FC has earned promotion to Ligue 1 for the first time in 46 years after securing a 1-1 draw against Martigues, ensuring a top-two finish in Ligue 2. Alongside Lorient, who have already clinched promotion, Paris FC will compete in the French top flight next season. This marks the first time in 35 years that both Paris FC and Paris Saint-Germain will play in Ligue 1 in the same season, bringing excitement to the French capital.

The club, recently purchased by the family of billionaire Bernard Arnault, aims to elevate Paris FC to become a major force in French and European football. This acquisition is part of a broader strategy to raise the club's profile and success on the national and international stages.

For the upcoming season, Paris FC will move to Stade Jean-Bouin, located near PSG's Parc des Princes, which will add another layer of rivalry between the two Parisian clubs. The return of Paris FC to the top tier of French football breaks a long-standing absence, with the last instance of two Parisian teams in Ligue 1 dating back to 1990 when Racing Paris was relegated.
