| The football team from Paris, the City of Lights, was officially founded in 1970, after being united with the Stade Saint Germain group. The club's football career was not an easy one. After a year, it made it to the French Premier League, but immediately afterwards it was split to the sub-leagues, and only in 1975 the Paris St-Germain team rose again to the top French League. The team's home stadium is the Parc de Princes, where the team also played against Maccabi Haifa in 1998, when they qualified for the European Cup Winners' Cup. The Parc de Princes also hosted the 1938 and 1998 World Cup, Euro Games in 1960, 1984,2016, European Cup final in 1956, 1975, 1981, European Cup Winners' Cup in 1978 and 1995, and the UEFA Cup Final in 1998. |

| In 2011 the Qatar's took control of Paris St-Germain, due to poor results and poor performances of the team within the league, with the goal of rehabilitating it and turning it into a successful, leading team, one that wins league titles and European titles. Under the leadership of Qatar, huge sums have been injected into the group, most of them for the purchase of leading players from teams that rank high on the UEFA football table, such as Bayer Pastore from Palermo, Zlatan Ibrahimović from Milan, etc. The club's latest purchase in 2017 shocked the entire football world - as Paris St-Germain has just procured the star of Barcelona, Neymar, for a crazy amount of 222 million Euros. |
