PSG fans demand the Mayor of Paris to ‘resign’ after stadium departure confirmed
The PSG supporters group, Collectif Ultras Paris, held up a banner during Les Parisiens’ Ligue 1 match against Lille on Saturday evening with a message directed at the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo.
The message held up in the Auteuil stand of the Parc des Princes read, “Hidalgo kills Paris and it’s magic”. This was accompanied by chants of “Hidalgo Resign”. The banner was unveiled in the same week it was confirmed that PSG would be leaving the Parc des Princes due to the unwillingness of the mayor to the French capital to sell the stadium to the Ligue 1 champions.
Speaking to Ouest-France, Hidalgo said, “’ll also say this again today, and in good faith to everyone: there will be no sale of the Parc des Princes. It is the heritage of the Parisian people. The subject is closed.” Following these quotes from Hidalgo, PSG’s president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi has confirmed that the club’s residency at the Parc des Princes is “over“.
It remains to be seen where PSG will move to following the announcement that they will leave the Parc des Prince and a failed attempt to purchase the Stade de France. A site in a local commune called Montigny-le-Bretonneux has been discussed, according to Le Parisien. In addition, potentially acquiring some land within Saint-Cloud racecourse could be an option to build a new stadium.
