PSG vs Lens (1-0) - Ligue 1 Title Decider 2017

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.
