PSG are scouring the Greater Paris area to secure a piece of land that will host their future stadium. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi recently confirmed his intentions to leave the 48.500-seater Parc des Princes [amid a standoff with the City of Paris](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2024/paris-mayor-rules-out-parc-des-princes-sale-psgs-options-dwindling/), the ground’s owner which is reluctant to sell PSG’s historic home to the club. The Ligue 1 champions consider that PSG’s future no longer goes hand in hand with Parc des Princes, whose capacity no longer aligns with the club’s ambitions.

The town of Ris-Orangis lies approximately 23 km south of Paris’ center. The abandoned racetrack and its premises cover an area of 100 hectares, which would be enough to match PSG’s needs.
_Les Parisiens_ are not only looking to build from scratch a state-of-the-art stadium – whose capacity should range from 60.000 to 90.000 – they also plan to create a “_PSG village_” with shops, hotels, restaurants, offices, and car parks surrounding the ground. The outlet understands that PSG are planning to decide on their new home as early as the first weeks of 2025.
