PSG is moving further away from Parc des Princes. The city of Poissy has officially confirmed its willingness to host a new stadium. Local authorities, supported by the Yvelines department, have presented a concrete proposal.

Poissy enters the race

Talks about PSG leaving their historic home have been ongoing for months. The reason is the firm refusal by Paris authorities to sell Parc des Princes. Mayor Anne Hidalgo recently reiterated that while an expansion of the stadium is possible, a sale remains out of the question. For PSG’s Qatari owners, this is a clear signal to act — the club needs a modern, larger stadium to continue growing.

Poissy, located about 30 kilometers west of central Paris, has not only entered the race but also unveiled a specific plan. A stadium with around 90,000 seats could be built on land owned by the automotive giant Stellantis. The estimated cost of the project exceeds €1 billion.

Pierre Bédier, president of the Yvelines department council, emphasized that a great PSG needs a great stadium. While admitting that leaving Parc des Princes is heartbreaking, he believes it’s a necessary step if the club wants to match the likes of Real Madrid or Barcelona.

Shared interest for PSG and Stellantis

Poissy already plays a key role in PSG’s infrastructure — the club’s official training center is located there. Building a stadium on Stellantis land would benefit all parties. Bédier notes that the carmaker could profit from selling part of its land and reinvest the proceeds into developing its Poissy operations. For the club, it would mean a modern home; for the city, a boost in tourism, gastronomy, and employment.

One argument raised by critics is Poissy’s distance from central Paris. Local authorities respond that travel time would be no longer than the current journey to Parc des Princes — especially for fans from the eastern districts or the Saint-Germain area. The city is served by RER lines A and E, and the under-construction T13 tram will soon connect key parts of the Île-de-France region.

Other contenders still in play

Two other cities remain in contention to host PSG’s future stadium: Ris-Orangis, located south of Paris, and Massy, to the southwest of the capital. Both are situated in the Essonne department. According to Le Parisien, Massy is considering a stadium project in the ZAC des Tuileries area. François Durovray, president of the Essonne department council, supports both proposals and is actively promoting them.
