The stadium situation for Paris FC has become a hot topic in the media following recent comments from city officials regarding potential venue sales. However, despite the speculation, the club remains firmly committed to the Jean-Bouin stadium for the foreseeable future.
The club is currently operating under an agreement with the Stade Français rugby team, which holds an exclusive concession for the venue. This contract is set to run at least until 2029. Under the current terms, the football club pays an annual fee of approximately €4 million and covers the costs of adjusting signage when the two teams alternate home games.
While shareholder Antoine Arnault has acknowledged that several long-term options for stadium development exist, including building a new site, there is currently no concrete plan to exit the current arrangement. Officials within the club have dismissed the idea of an imminent move as premature.
For Paris FC, the immediate focus remains on growing its fanbase. The club is aiming to increase its season ticket base to 10,000, viewing potential European qualification and consistent performance as the primary drivers to fill the stadium more regularly in the coming seasons.
