Paris FC
Updated: 12/11/2025, 8:40:17 AM Wikipedia source
Paris Football Club (French pronunciation: [paʁi futbol klœb]), commonly referred to as Paris FC or simply PFC, is a French professional football club based in Paris, France, which competes in Ligue 1, the top division of French football. Founded in 1969, the club merged with Stade Saint-Germain to form Paris Saint-Germain in 1970, but it eventually spun-off in 1972. They are nicknamed the Les Bleus (The Blues) for their shirt colour, and their crest features the Eiffel Tower. Since 2025, Paris FC has been playing at the Stade Jean-Bouin, located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris across the street from Paris Saint-Germain’s Parc des Princes. Unlike their counterpart Paris Saint-Germain, they struggled to establish themselves in the ranks of French football, playing mostly in the amateur divisions, following a decade in Ligue 2, they returned to Ligue 1 in 2025. Since 2024, Paris FC have been majority-owned by the Arnault family's Agache Sport, which currently holds 52.4% of the shares. Austrian conglomerate Red Bull GmbH owns 10.6%, Alter Paris led by Pierre Ferracci owns 29.8%, and BRI Sports Holdings owns 7.2% of the club's shares.
