The club was founded in 1970 by the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain, and competes in Ligue 1, the top tier of French football. PSG play their home matches at the Parc des Princes. With a total of 60 trophies, including 59 major titles, PSG are the most successful club in France. The club is also the most popular football club in the country and one of the most widely-supported teams worldwide. PSG have rivalries with Olympique de Marseille, with whom they contest Le Classique, and with Paris FC in the Paris derby. After establishing itself in the top flight during the 1970s, PSG won their first major titles in the 1980s, beginning with two Coupe de France trophies and later their first Ligue 1 championship. The club's rise continued in the 1990s, as PSG won nine trophies, including a second league title and their first European honour, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. Despite a second European trophy with the UEFA Intertoto Cup, the club struggled during the 2000s. A resurgence began in the 2010s after PSG were acquired by the government-operated Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), whose significant financial backing enabled the club to dominate domestic competitions and win their first UEFA Champions League titles back-to-back in 2025 and 2026, a unique feat in French football. PSG have won 54 domestic trophies: a record 14 Ligue 1 titles, one Ligue 2 title, a record 16 Coupes de France, a record 9 Coupes de la Ligue, and a record 14 Trophée des Champions. Internationally, PSG is the most decorated French team, with six major trophies, including two UEFA Champions League titles (a French record), the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the UEFA Intertoto Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. In 2025, they won their first UEFA Champions League, becoming the first French club to complete a continental treble. That same year, PSG also won the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, becoming the first French side to claim both trophies, earning the first club world title in French football history, and completing an unprecedented sextuple. PSG successfully defended their Champions League title in 2026. Since 2011, PSG have been majority-owned by QSI, with Arctos Partners acquiring a minority stake in 2023 then Boardroom in 2025. As of January 2026, PSG are the richest club in France, rank among the wealthiest football clubs globally, and are one of the most valuable clubs in the world.
