Live on September 29th-Emmanuel Gregoire, the candidate for the mayor of Paris, said that if he was elected mayor, he would try his best to ensure that Paris Saint-Germain Club would stay at Princes Park Stadium.
Paris Saint-Germain Club is currently home to the Prince Park Stadium, but the stadium is owned by the Paris City Government, and the Paris Saint-Germain Club has always hoped to buy the stadium, but the city government refused to sell it. The current mayor of Paris, Anne-Idargo, said in June this year: “We are willing to expand the Prince Park Stadium, but the stadium is owned by the municipality.
While the Paris Saint-Germain Club hopes to have its own stadium, it has recently visited the two cities of Puvassy and Massey, in the province of Evelyn, near Paris, and had talks with both cities and local committees. Paris Saint-Germain considers the Prince Park stadium too small and hopes to go to one of the two cities to build a new stadium that can accommodate 6-9 million people.
But Mayor Anne-Idargo is about to leave, and Paris will hold a new mayoral election in 2026, while Socialist candidate Emmanuel-Gregorev is the former chief assistant of current Mayor Anne-Idargo. Emmanuel-Gregorev said: “Paris Saint-Germain moves to Poitiers?
Emmanuel-Gregorev also pledged that if he were elected mayor of Paris, he would resume dialogue with Paris Saint-Germain Club chairman Nasser to ensure that the team can continue playing at the Prince Park Stadium. Possible options include the sale of the stadium, long-term rental of the stadium, or the expansion of the stadium by the club to bear related fees.
In fact, Emmanuel-Gregorev said last year: “We don’t want to communicate through the media and the Paris Saint-Germain Club anymore. The rest is secondary, and I don’t want to comment through the media. Paris Saint-Germain will never leave the Prince Park stadium.”
