Groupe Supporter

Lore & Background

Lacking a large and passionate following in its early years, the club began offering cheaper season tickets to young fans in 1976. These supporters were placed in Kop K, located in the Blue K Section of the Paris stand at the Parc des Princes. After ticket prices increased, the Kop K fans moved to the Boulogne stand in 1978, giving rise to the Kop of Boulogne. The club's first Italian-style ultra group, the Boulogne Boys, was founded there in 1985, followed by the English-inspired kopistes Gavroches and Rangers.

However, some KoB groups, including Commando Pirate and Casual Firm, took English hooligans as questionable role models, and violence escalated rapidly. In response, the club's owners, Canal+, encouraged non-violent KoB fans to gather at the opposite end of the stadium, leading to the creation of the Virage Auteuil in 1991. This section was spearheaded by the ultra groups Supras Auteuil, Lutece Falco, and Tigris Mystic. The initiative initially succeeded, but a violent, racially charged rivalry gradually developed between the two stands.

Tensions peaked in 2010, before a match against Olympique de Marseille, when Boulogne fan Yann Lorence was killed following a brawl outside the Parc between supporters from both stands. This tragedy prompted PSG president Robin Leproux to implement the Plan Leproux, which exiled all supporter groups from the Parc and banned them from away matches. After former VA supporters formed the Collectif Ultras Paris (CUP) in May 2016, the club allowed their return in October of the same year.

Based in Auteuil, the CUP are currently the only ultra group officially recognized by the club. PSG allowed the CUP to take over the Boulogne stand starting in the 2025–26 season.
