Paris Saint-Germain reported a record revenue of €837 million for the last season, buoyed by €175 million from matchday sales and €367 million in commercial income. The French club welcomed six new partners, enhancing its coffers significantly.
Despite these financial gains, PSG faces growth constraints due to low Ligue 1 TV revenues and the Parc des Princes stadium's modest 48,000-seat capacity. The stadium is owned by Paris City Hall, and Mayor Anne Hidalgo opposes selling it to the club, yet remains open to its expansion.
Plans for a new stadium, potentially accommodating over 60,000 spectators, are under consideration with possible locations in Passy and Massy. A decision on moving forward with these plans is anticipated by next autumn, signaling a pivotal moment for PSG's future infrastructure ambitions.
