the women's football team
Les Rouge-et-Bleu (The Red and Blues)
Paris Saint-Germain Football Club (), commonly referred to as Paris Saint-Germain, PSG, Paris, or Paris SG, are a French professional women's football club based in Paris, France. It operates as the women's football department of Paris Saint-Germain FC. Founded in 1971, the club competes in the Première Ligue, the top tier of women's football in France, and plays its home matches at Campus PSG. PSG have been a top-flight club since 2001, when they won the Seconde Ligue title and secured promotion.
PSG spent its early decades moving between divisions before stabilising in the top flight. Their first major success came with victory in the Coupe de France Féminine in 2010, marking a turning point in the club's development. Following the takeover by Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) in 2012, PSG significantly increased investment in the women's team, professionalizing the squad and establishing themselves as one of the leading clubs in French women's football.
The club progressed from a mid-table side to one of the strongest teams in European women's football. PSG won their first Première Ligue title in 2021, ending OL Lyonnes' prolonged domestic dominance, and have since added further Coupe de France Féminine titles in 2018, 2022, and 2024. The team has also enjoyed consistent participation in the UEFA Women's Champions League, reaching the final on two occasions, and contests prominent rivalries with Lyon—often referred to as Le Classique—as well as the Paris derby against Paris FC.
Off the pitch, PSG's women's team has undergone several venue changes, moving from historic grounds such as Stade Georges Lefèvre to Campus PSG, while continuing to use larger stadiums, including the Parc des Princes for high-profile fixtures. The club continues to develop its sporting infrastructure and squad as it competes at both domestic and European levels.
History
Foundation and rise to the top flight (1971–2001)
A year after the foundation of the club, Paris Saint-Germain created their women's section in the summer of 1971 after the French Football Federation (FFF) gave the green light to female football.{{cite news | access-date = 27 June 2018}}{{cite news | access-date = 7 December 2020}} PSG signed 33 women for the 1971–72 season and the newly formed team began life in the Ligue de Paris, the lowest level of the football pyramid.{{cite news | access-date = 27 June 2018}} They finished second that campaign, their best result ever, and continued life in the Parisian championship for seven more years, albeit with less success.
Ahead of the 1979–80 season, PSG were promoted to the top flight of French football, the Première Ligue, after it went from 20 to 48 teams. Their inaugural stint, however, only lasted three seasons, and PSG were relegated back to Seconde Ligue in 1982. The Red and Blues bounced between the two top divisions over the next 19 years. Following a dramatic 1999–2000 season in which they missed promotion to the elite by losing their last match against promotion contenders Schiltigheim, PSG finally steadied the ship in 2001. Led by coach Sébastien Thierry and young defender Laura Georges, the team won 16 out of 18 games played in Group A to claim back their place amongst the best in France. PSG would then clinch the 2000–01 Seconde Ligue title by defeating Group C leader Tours in the final. Since then, Paris SG have never been relegated from the Première Ligue.
From mid-table team to first major title (2001–2010)
Under incoming manager Cyril Combettes, Paris Saint-Germain remained without major problems in the Première Ligue but nowhere near the top teams. In the summer of 2005, starlets Sabrina Delannoy and Laure Boulleau signed from CNFE Clairefontaine. Together, they played more than 400 matches with PSG, being their two most capped players. The defending duo experienced everything with the capital side: relegation battles, mid-table finishes, title races and the club's first major trophy. Men and women confounded, Delannoy is PSG's sixth most capped player ever, only behind male counterparts Jean-Marc Pilorget, Sylvain Armand, Safet Sušić, Paul Le Guen, and Marco Verratti.{{cite news | access-date = 22 January 2020}}
At the end of March 2007, Cyril Combettes resigned due to relationship problems with the players. He was replaced by Eric Leroy for the 2007–08 season. Despite a difficult start, including a heavy defeat to Montpellier in the first match, the season was a success. Under Leroy's direction, the team finished in fifth place and reached their maiden Challenge de France final. Having crashed out at the same stage in 2005, the Red and Blues learned their lesson and defeated Parisian Derby rivals Paris FC (at the time called Juvisy) in the semi-finals.{{cite news | access-date = 8 December 2020}}{{cite news | access-date = 8 December 2020}}{{cite news | access-date = 8 December 2020}} OL Lyonnes, however, proved too strong for PSG in the title-decider at the Stade de France, easily taking home the cup with three unanswered strikes.
Following a disappointing 2008–09 season, Camillo Vaz replaced Éric Leroy in June 2009. PSG recruited French internationals Élise Bussaglia, Julie Soyer, and Jessica Houara during that summer. The women's team then celebrated their 38th birthday by making their debut at the Parc des Princes. Usually reserved for the men's side, PSG hosted city rivals Paris FC at the stadium on October 18, 2009. In front of 5,892 spectators, they defeated their guests thanks to an early goal from Camille Abily. The 2009–10 campaign ended with a third place, a first for them on the podium. Better yet, the Parisians also reached their second Challenge de France final after eliminating juggernauts Lyon in the semi-finals.
Noilhan had left the club shortly before the final, leaving Vaz as the sole coach.{{cite news | access-date = 24 January 2023}}{{cite news | access-date = 20 April 2017}} This, however, did not stop PSG from crushing defending champions Montpellier at the Stade Robert Bobin to claim their first major title as well as their second trophy ever and their first since 2001. Emblematic club striker Ingrid Boyeldieu, who would retire at the end of the season, opened the scoring in the first half. After the break, PSG added four more goals for a brutal 5–0 scoreline, the largest victory in the history of cup finals.
European debut and Qatari takeover (2010–2013)
The 2010–11 season marked a turning point for Paris. In the summer, Brazilian star Kátia joined on a free signing from Lyon. PSG finished league runners-up behind heavyweights OL Lyonnes and qualified to the UEFA Women's Champions League for the first time in their history. The Parisians dramatically defeated second-placed Montpellier in the final game of the season, with team captain Sabrina Delannoy scoring the winning penalty in stoppage time. Élise Bussaglia was named Première Ligue Féminine Player of the Season.
Exempted from the group stage, PSG made their European debut by comfortably eliminating Irish side Peamount in the Round of 16, before being themselves ousted by German giants and future finalists 1. FFC Frankfurt. The rest of the 2011–12 campaign, however, was not as successful. Undermined by the injuries of key players Léa Rubio, Laure Lepailleur, and Caroline Pizzala, the team lost its grip and finished in fourth place after suffering a heavy defeat at home to Île-de-France rivals Paris FC. As a result, coach Camillo Vaz left the club at the end of the season.
PSG bounced back immediately with the professionalisation of the team by new club owners Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) ahead of the 2012–13 campaign. They spent big to build a team capable of competing with the best clubs in France and Europe, including Lyon, and signed its 21 players to a federal contract, something unprecedented in women's football. Renowned international players Shirley Cruz, Kosovare Asllani, Annike Krahn, and Linda Bresonik were the first to arrive, as well as Farid Benstiti, the coach who guided Lyon to four consecutive league titles. A season later, PSG recruited Marie-Laure Delie, the first women's football transfer in France, for €50k. As part of this revolution, PSG also moved to the Stade Sébastien Charléty in 2012 and then to the Stade Jean-Bouin in 2018, abandoning the smaller Stade Georges Lefèvre, which had been their home stadium since 1971.{{cite news | access-date = 19 January 2024}}
Lyon rivalry and second cup title (2013–2018)
These investments allowed PSG to challenge OL Lyonnes, with the duo developing a heated rivalry dubbed as Le Classique.{{cite news | access-date = 8 December 2020}}{{cite news | access-date = 8 December 2020}}{{cite news | access-date = 8 December 2020}} Lyon still kept a head start over Paris during the 2010s, clinching a record 14 consecutive league titles between 2007 and 2020.{{cite news | access-date = 8 December 2020}}{{cite news | access-date = 8 December 2020}} PSG managed a few important victories during that time, though. League and cup runners-up behind Lyon in 2013–14, they recorded their first ever win over the champions in January 2014, with a solitary goal from Laura Georges at the Stade de Gerland. It was Lyon's first league defeat at home since March 2010, an unbeaten streak spanning 87 matches.
PSG repeated the feat in 2014–15, this time in the Champions League, as Fatmire Alushi scored the only goal at Gerland to eliminate Lyon in the last 16. Nonetheless, the season ended in disappointment; Paris finished second to Lyon and lost the 2015 UEFA Women's Champions League final to Frankfurt at the last second.{{cite news | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201113005810/https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/history/2015/ | url-status = dead | archive-date = 13 November 2020 | access-date = 24 June 2018}} Lyon retaliated in 2015–16 by claiming the championship and then crushing PSG in the Champions League semi-finals. They scored seven times without response, inflicting PSG's biggest defeat in the continental competition and one of their biggest ever.{{cite news | access-date = 8 December 2020}} Even worse, Paris finished third in the league and missed qualification to the Champions League. The club did not renew Farid Benstiti's contract and was replaced by Patrice Lair, another former Lyon coach.
The two sides were back at it again in 2016–17. PSG first beat their rivals, also by a 1–0 margin, in December 2016 despite Lyon still managing to retain the league title. Then, they crossed paths in the Coupe de France Féminine final, won by Lyon after an endless penalty shoot-out, and in the 2017 UEFA Women's Champions League final, which also had to be decided on penalties. The teams could not be separated after seven kicks each until PSG goalkeeper Katarzyna Kiedrzynek stepped up and missed. Her counterpart Sarah Bouhaddi converted her effort and handed Lyon the European victory.{{cite news | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201024235101/https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/history/2017/ | url-status = dead | archive-date = 24 October 2020 | access-date = 24 June 2018}} With Bernard Mendy on the bench, filling in after the surprise departure of Lair, the capital outfit exacted revenge on Lyon in the 2017–18 season by defeating them in the Coupe de France final in May 2018, with a solitary goal from French international striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto.{{cite news | access-date = 9 July 2020}}
First league championship and decline (2018–Present)
Olivier Echouafni was named manager in June 2018, while Mendy stayed on as his assistant.{{cite news | access-date = 9 July 2020}} Paris finished league runners-up in 2018–19 and 2019–20, while losing the Coupe de France and Trophée des Championnes to Lyon as well. In Echouafni's third season in charge, PSG ended Lyon's 80-game unbeaten league streak in November 2020 to leapfrog them and go top of the table. Once more, Katoto scored the lone goal of a game played behind closed doors at the Parc des Princes.
PSG subsequently secured a crucial goalless draw away to Lyon before defeating Dijon on the final matchday to claim their first Première Ligue title, ending their rivals' run of 14 consecutive league championships.{{cite news | access-date = 7 June 2021}} They also brought an end to Lyon's dominance in the UEFA Women's Champions League by staging a notable comeback to deny them a sixth consecutive European title, although PSG were later eliminated by Barcelona in the semifinals.{{cite news | access-date = 18 April 2021}}{{cite news | access-date = 2 May 2021}}
However, PSG subsequently struggled, reflecting years of transfer mismanagement and strategic inconsistency. The club's only notable successes were two additional Coupe de France titles, both achieved after eliminating Lyon, first with an 8–0 victory over second-tier Yzeure in 2022 and later with a 1–0 win against Fleury in the 2024 final, decided by a goal from Lieke Martens.{{cite news | access-date = 2 August 2021}}{{cite news | access-date = 2 August 2021}}{{cite news | access-date = 26 January 2026}}
Despite a substantial budget, PSG allowed several core French players to leave for Lyon or abroad and failed to establish a coherent long-term sporting strategy. The club also experienced significant managerial instability, appointing a different manager each season since Olivier Echouafni's departure in 2021, including Didier Ollé-Nicolle (2021–22), Gérard Prêcheur (2022–23), Jocelyn Prêcheur (2023–24), Fabrice Abriel (2024–25), and Paulo César (2025–26), who launched a youth-focused project.{{cite news | access-date = 26 January 2026}}
Under sporting director Angelo Castelazzi, recruitment remained inconsistent, with Sakina Karchaoui and Griedge Mbock Bathy among the few notable signings. Numerous leading French players—such as Marie-Antoinette Katoto, Kadidiatou Diani, Sandy Baltimore, Constance Picaud, and Grace Geyoro—alongside prominent foreign players including Christiane Endler, Lieke Martens, Tabitha Chawinga, Ashley Lawrence, and Sara Däbritz, departed in successive seasons. This period of stagnation, and at times regression, culminated in PSG's elimination from the 2025–26 UEFA Women's Champions League after finishing 17th out of 18 in the league phase, following a shock qualifying-round exit to Juventus the previous year.{{cite news | access-date = 26 January 2026}}{{cite news | access-date = 26 January 2026}} Domestically, PSG also fell behind Paris FC, who defeated them in the 2025 Coupe de France final.{{cite news

Between 1971 and 2012, Paris Saint-Germain played their home matches at the Stade Georges Lefèvre, the main stadium of Camp des Loges, the club's training ground. PSG relocated to the Stade Sébastien Charléty in 2012, when the team turned professional. They returned to the Georges Lefèvre in 2017, before moving to the Stade Jean-Bouin in 2018.{{cite news | access-date = 8 December 2020}} PSG continued to use the Georges Lefèvre whenever the Jean-Bouin wasn't available until January 2024, when they moved to Campus PSG, the club's new training facility in Poissy.{{cite news | access-date = 14 January 2024}}{{cite news | access-date = 19 January 2024}} The main stadium of Campus PSG, with a capacity of 1,100 spectators, is now their home ground as well, except for matches relocated to the Parc des Princes or Jean-Bouin.{{cite news | access-date = 8 January 2024 | archive-date = 7 January 2024 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20240107152452/https://www.culturepsg.com/news/club/le-campus-psg-va-accueillir-son-premier-match-officiel/50070 | url-status = live | access-date = 6 May 2025}} They played their first game at Campus PSG on January 9, 2024, cruising to a 6–0 win over Lille OSC in Première Ligue.{{cite news | access-date = 14 January 2024}} This was also the very first official match played there.
Usually reserved for the men's side, the Parc des Princes serves as the women's home ground for big domestic and European matches. After 38 years of existence, PSG made their debut at the stadium in a league game against Parisian rivals Paris FC on October 18, 2009. Camille Abily scored the only goal of the match to hand PSG the win. Their European debut, and second game overall, came on March 28, 2015, against Glasgow City for the quarterfinals of the 2014–15 UEFA Women's Champions League. PSG won 5–0.{{cite news | access-date = 8 December 2020}} Another big night at the arena was the club's 1–0 league victory – courtesy of Marie-Antoinette Katoto's lone goal – over arch-rivals OL Lyonnes in November 2020. PSG also broke the national home attendance record when they hosted Lyon at the Parc des Princes on April 30, 2022. The UEFA Champions League clash attracted 43,254 spectators, who saw the Parisians fell to a 1–2 defeat.{{cite news | access-date = 4 May 2022 | archive-date = 1 May 2022 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220501132410/https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2022/record-attendance-for-womens-club-football-match-at-parc-des-princes/ | url-status = live

Main article: Paris Saint-Germain FC supporters
Between 2010 and 2016, unable to support the men's team, the ultras focused on other PSG teams and they began attending their games, especially the women's team, but also the youth and handball teams.{{cite news | access-date = 12 October 2019 | archive-date = 24 September 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190924132601/https://www.20minutes.fr/sport/psg/2059099-20170429-psg-entre-ultras-cup-feminines-amour-fou-ca-fait-moment-ca-dure | url-status = live | access-date = 17 October 2019 | archive-date = 17 October 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20191017143724/https://www.20minutes.fr/sport/1116923-20130312-20130312-decus-parc-princes-migrent-vers-psg-hand | url-status = live
A marriage of convenience at first, the ultras began to greatly enjoy supporting the women for three main reasons: their proximity compared to the men, allowing them to easily approach the players; their appreciation for the fans, always thanking them after each match; and their solidarity with the ultra movement, publicly supporting the return to the Parc des Princes for the men's team's matches in interviews and on social media, in contrast to the male players, whose communication was more controlled by the club. The ultras have continued to support the women's side since their return to the stadium in May 2016; they were at the Parc for the 2016–17 UEFA Women's Champions League matches against Bayern Munich and Barcelona.{{cite news | access-date = 27 June 2018 | archive-date = 30 June 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180630085846/https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/news/newsid=2462629.html | url-status = live | access-date = 13 October 2019 | archive-date = 13 October 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20191013212912/https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2017/jun/01/uefa-womens-champions-league-final-lyon-v-psg-live | url-status = live
Despite their protests against the management and the attitude of male players in 2022, the CUP were still behind the "exemplary" women's team.{{cite news | access-date = 22 April 2022 | archive-date = 19 April 2022 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220419142555/https://www.leparisien.fr/sports/football/psg/psg-feminin-le-cup-appelle-a-la-mobilisation-pour-la-demi-finale-retour-contre-lol-19-04-2022-7IYRZHAXCFDTVIXYP3XP3BUNLY.php | url-status = live | access-date = 4 April 2022 | archive-date = 3 April 2022 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220403093559/https://www.lefigaro.fr/sports/football/ligue-des-champions/ligue-des-champions-feminine-record-d-affluence-pour-le-psg-20220330 | url-status = live | access-date = 4 May 2022 | archive-date = 1 May 2022 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220501132410/https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2022/record-attendance-for-womens-club-football-match-at-parc-des-princes/ | url-status = live | access-date = 4 May 2022 | archive-date = 1 May 2022 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220501170945/https://www.leparisien.fr/sports/football/psg/ligue-des-champions-feminines-tous-derriere-les-filles-quand-le-psg-retrouve-ses-supporters-30-04-2022-I5LLVIFR7JAXLBKU2MHPZRV3FA.php | url-status = live
Among the women's team's fan favorites are Sabrina Delannoy, Grace Geyoro and Laure Boulleau, all of whom have set appearance records; the club's all-time top scorers, Marie-Antoinette Katoto, Marie-Laure Delie and Kadidiatou Diani; PSG Academy alumna Sandy Baltimore; and Polish goalkeeper Katarzyna Kiedrzynek.{{cite news | access-date = 7 December 2020}}{{cite news | access-date = 25 June 2023}} The ultras forged a particularly strong relationship with the latter. When Kiedrzynek left PSG in 2020 after seven years, they unfurled two huge banners reading: "Thank you, Kasia. Our home will always be open for you."{{cite news | access-date = 25 June 2023}}
Rivalries
Le Classique
Paris Saint-Germain shares an intense rivalry with OL Lyonnes; matches between the two teams are referred to as Le Classique. It is considered the female equivalent of the rivalry between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille in men's football, which is also called Le Classique. Since their foundation in 2004, Lyon have been the dominant force in French and European women's football, winning the Première Ligue title for 14 consecutive seasons between 2007 and 2020 and claiming the UEFA Women's Champions League seven times, including five consecutive victories. PSG only began to challenge Lyon's hegemony after Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) took over the club in 2012. With significant financial backing, PSG have regularly contested the league title with Lyon since the 2010s, and a fierce rivalry has developed between the two sides.
Paris derby
PSG also maintain a strong rivalry with Paris FC. Known as the Paris derby, the two clubs compete for recognition as the capital's leading team. Prior to the emergence of Lyon in the 2000s and PSG's rise to elite status in the 2010s, Paris FC were the dominant force in the city and generally held the upper hand in the fixture. They were the last club other than Lyon to win the league title, in 2006, before PSG claimed their first championship in 2021. During the 2010s, PSG dominated the Paris derby, largely due to the financial disparity created by investment from owners QSI. In the early 2020s, Paris FC established itself as the third force in the Première Ligue, restoring sporting significance to the rivalry, a development further reinforced by the club's victory over PSG in the 2025 Coupe de France final.
