The French newspaper L’Équipe reports that the Parisian club is expected to announce its decision on the new stadium location within the next two weeks.

Pros and cons of each location

The first option currently being considered is the city of Poissy. PSG already has its training center there, which provides a significant logistical advantage. However, the main issue is the presence of industrial giant Stellantis. For the new stadium project to go ahead, it would need to be built on land owned by the Dutch automotive group, which would require the sale of property and a reduction in factory operations.

The second option is Massy, located in the Essonne department. The city has excellent transport connections, both public and road. In fact, it's so well connected that… this might actually be a problem. Due to the proximity of Orly Airport and the presence of an aircraft guidance radar, no buildings taller than 40 meters are allowed in the area. Additionally, the La Bonde plot being considered for the stadium is currently classified as agricultural land, which could provoke opposition from various environmental groups.

A third possibility?

There is still one more option: PSG’s management could wait until 2026, when there will be a change in the Paris mayor’s office—when Anne Hidalgo steps down—and reconsider staying at the Parc des Princes, provided the club could become the owner of the stadium. While this idea has been circulating in public discussions, PSG has firmly denied such plans and appears determined to set sail for a new location.
