ASSOCIATION PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN

What ASSOCIATION PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN does

Association Paris Saint-Germain is a French non-profit (Association loi 1901) amateur football organization founded in 1970. It created the Paris Saint-Germain professional football club and managed both amateur and professional activities until 1991, when professional operations were transferred to a separate entity. Since 1991 the association has been solely responsible for the club's amateur and youth development activities, while the professional club has been owned by Qatar Sports Investments since June 2011. The association is formally affiliated with the Fédération Française de Football (FFF), which authorizes it to register teams in official competitions including Championnat de France, Coupe de France, Trophée des Champions, Coupe d'Europe, and Coupe Intercontinentale (the latter entered via the professional section). Operationally it manages roughly 25 squads spanning boys (U7–U18), girls (U7F–U18F), seniors, veterans, goalkeepers, educators, and a dedicated referees cell of around 25 officials, delivering training and competitive matches out of two sites: the Camp des Loges (Stade Georges Lefèvre) in Saint-Germain-en-Laye — its historic base since 1970 — and the Campus PSG Training Center in Poissy, where operations began in January 2024. It also runs programs for coach/educator development, volunteer leader (dirigeant) recruitment, and participation in international youth tournaments (Orlando, Rotterdam, Cantabria, Azores).

The association's revenue model is subscription-based and recurring, sourced principally from player registration and membership fees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; interested families must contact the association directly via email ([email protected]) or through role-specific inboxes for coaches ([email protected]), referees ([email protected]), and volunteer dirigeants ([email protected]). It does not operate a technology product; its only digital surface is the asso-psg.fr website, hosted by OVH and built by Family Sport Agency, used as a content/news platform alongside community channels such as Facebook. The association has secured the Label Jeunes FFF Crédit Agricole niveau Elite certification (2023–2026) and the Label Jeunes FFF Féminin Gold level (2026), and won the U19 Nationaux national championship in 2024. Marketing and distribution is community-led, with open days (portes ouvertes féminines), talent observation cells during official competitions, and trial immersions at the Campus PSG as the principal acquisition channels.

The organization is governed as an association loi 1901 with 14 paid employees and a broad volunteer base of educators, coaches, dirigeants, and referees. Its leadership includes Thibaut Karsenty as Manager Général of the association; the professional PSG club is led by President Director General Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who sits outside the association's direct governance. Relationship to the professional club is one of shared brand identity and youth talent pathway rather than direct corporate ownership or financial sponsorship of the association. Customer base is exclusively individual/family — youth players (boys and girls, ages roughly 6–18) and veteran adult players — within the Île-de-France catchment, specifically the Yvelines department.
