Paris FC is promoted to Ligue 1!

After FC Lorient, it is Paris FC’s turn to formalize its climb in Ligue 1 next season. One day from the end of the championship and thanks to a draw conceded in Martigues, the capital’s club can no longer be joined by FC Metz, which has missed its lawn against Rodez (3-3). And with the defeat of Lorient, the title of Ligue 2 can now become a reality next week. But the essential is already done, as this accession to the elite was the objective assumed for several years now. The arrival of the Arnault family only confirmed these ambitions.

We can even say that it has strengthened them. Under the leadership of the Agache Sport holding company, she became the majority shareholder (52.4 %) of the club in the fall, accompanied in his investment by Red Bull (10.6 %), while Pierre Ferracci remains as president of the club that he has occupied since 2012. The Corsican businessman should go within two years, hoping to leave the PFC in Ligue 1 with the means of the last months. It is also the recipe for this season’s success.

Two Parisian clubs in L1 next year

Thanks to their large financial surface for a Ligue 2 stable, Charlety residents managed to attract players of a certain caliber. We think of course of Maxime Lopez, recruited in Sassuolo last summer, but also of Jean-Philippe Krasso, bought € 1.5 million from the red star of Belgrade and author of 15 goals this season, or even in Mathieu Cafaro landed this winter from Saint-Etienne. The training center has also developed in recent years and many talents are already as a first team like Obed Nkambadio.

There will have been ups and downs during this exercise, but there will be two Parisian clubs in Ligue 1 from the start of the school year. It will be a first in France since 1989 and it is also the great curiosity to come. Cousin of PSG (the two clubs made a common history between 1969 and 1972), the PFC will have to make its place in an environment outrageously dominated by its large neighbor. Moreover, Stéphane Gilli’s players will evolve at the Jean-Bouin stadium next season, located on the sidewalk opposite the Parc des Princes. There is already a story to tell.
