The countdown begins for the PSG which officially launches this Saturday morning the construction of its future campus in Poissy whose delivery is scheduled for 2022. To symbolize the start of work, this is not a first stone to be laid. Symbolically, the leaders of the club preferred to plant a tree, the first of the approximately 3000 which will be planted on the site.

For this event, Jean-Claude Blanc, the deputy director general of the club, and Jamal Riffi, real estate director of PSG, should be present alongside local elected officials. "The official launch of the work, which begins with the landscaping component, is marked by the planting of an oak tree, a sign of longevity, says Karl Olive (DVD) the mayor of Poissy. It is the culmination of a team effort between the club but also the State, the former deputy (LR) of the riding David Douillet and the local communities ”.

Same satisfaction for Jean-Claude Blanc. "This is one of the decisive stages in the construction of the new training center that we are crossing," he emphasizes. The commitments of all public partners and Paris Saint-Germain are respected. This first of the 3000 trees we plant represents our attention to the environment as part of the overall development of the site. "

The fact remains that the major maneuvers already started in early February with the construction of a new road for residents. In addition, archaeological excavations will last until June. Another project concerns the moving of the car pound planned before the summer. This infrastructure with a capacity of 500 vehicles is located in the heart of the field.

This building will accommodate the professional workforce, with in particular luxury rooms for greening.

Now the work will intensify. Excavators, bulldozers and trucks will come into action on the 74 hectares acquired by the club in 2016 on the edge of the A 13. The goal is to develop fifteen football fields, a stadium with 5,000 seats, but also accommodation buildings for professional players and those of the training center, who will then leave the Loges camp, in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. The campus will not only welcome footballers. The handball and judo sections will also be set up in Poissy

The total investment for the club amounts to almost 300 million euros. The site is divided into three zones with land reserved for professionals and others for young people from the training center. These different spaces will be separated by accommodation buildings to accommodate players. These sets will also include treatment rooms but also classes since the campus will house a Blue and Red school for young people in the neighborhoods and aimed at fighting against school failure.

As for the 5000-seat stadium, located near the A 13 motorway exit ramp, it will be used for meetings of European competitions for the PSG women's team and matches for the reserve team. An agreement was also reached with the city which could use the equipment if the local club, which is currently playing in National 2 were to move up into the upper division.

The delivery of this new training center is expected for the start of the 2022-2023 season, one year behind schedule. The opening had to be postponed because of the long administrative procedures.
