Official | Paris FC to play home matches on Stade Jean-Bouin

Ligue 2 Page Paris FC has advertised They would play their home matches on Paris’ Stade Jean-Bouin, located right next to PSG’s Parc des Princes, from next season until 2029. Stade Jean-Bouin is a modern 19,000-person who is home to Rugby Union Outfit Stade Français Paris. Paris FC is currently playing their home matches at Stade Charléty South of Paris. Charléty is more suitable for athletics than football, as pointed out by Red Bull Football Manager Jürgen Klopp when he attended a PFC home match last month: “The stadium is a stadium where you cannot create an atmosphere. It’s been a long time since I saw a game from so far and I was in the stadium rather than in front of the TV.“

Paris FC has been taken over last year by the richest family in France – Arnault – through their Agache Sport Holding. Red Bull owns a minority share in the Parisian club. PFC is on its way to getting a Ligue 1 promotion at the end of the season. They are currently second in the Ligue 2 position with a three-point deficit on league leaders Lorient. “Reaching this deal to play on Jean-Bouin from next season was a priority for my family to offer our followers, partners and spectators a perfect setting to see Paris FC teams ”, said Antoine Arnault.
