Supporting the team in Paris

While Emmanuel Grégoire, a prominent local figure, has opted against organizing a fan zone due to security concerns, PSG supporters can still gather at the Parc des Princes for a night of celebration. The atmosphere will be electric as fans cheer on their team, though the capital braces for an exceptional security operation.

In the event of a PSG victory, officials have confirmed there will be no victory parade along the Champs-Élysées this time, unlike last year’s celebrations.
