Paris is one of the most incredible cities in the world, and my goal as President has been to give it the club it deserves. Today, we are one of the most recognized sports institutions in the world, both on and off the pitch, while keeping our local community at the heart of everything we do. I am proud of what we have achieved together at PSG, in such a short time, and even more since our first ever UEFA Champions League title in 2025. I am very excited for the years ahead, for our fans in France and around the world.
