Lore & Background
PSG spent its early decades moving between divisions before stabilising in the top flight. Their first major success came with victory in the Coupe de France Féminine in 2010, marking a turning point in the club's development. Following the takeover by Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) in 2012, PSG significantly increased investment in the women's team, professionalizing the squad and establishing themselves as one of the leading clubs in French women's football.
The club progressed from a mid-table side to one of the strongest teams in European women's football. PSG won their first Première Ligue title in 2021, ending OL Lyonnes' prolonged domestic dominance, and have since added further Coupe de France Féminine titles in 2018, 2022, and 2024. The team has also enjoyed consistent participation in the UEFA Women's Champions League, reaching the final on two occasions, and contests prominent rivalries with Lyon—often referred to as Le Classique—as well as the Paris derby against Paris FC.
