France Blue Paris made PSG fans speak with the power of a song in the stands of the Parc des Princes. More than 3,000 people took part in “Our PSG”, the great consultation of supporters. After a historic 10th title but also a new disillusionment in the Champions League, we invited the fans to make proposals to make the club stronger.
A thousand proposals receivedwe selected 40 which were put to the vote, 3,000 supporters voted. The result expresses strong priorities. On the sporting level, the fans want to elevate the project and the institution above the players and they have been ideas to take it forward. On the extra-sports, they also have tracks to raise their colors, and those of the Parisian identity.
At the end of this consultation, these are 40 proposals that have been submitted to the votes of the supporters of Paris Saint-Germain. All the explanations, figures and analyzes can be found in the booklet # Our PSG:

And in the choice of players, it is very clear: 85% of fans demand more playing time for youngsters at the academy and 97% of supporters say players should be recruited ONLY according to sporting needs and not their notoriety. These are the 4 most popular proposals regarding the first team.

Nearly 85% are calling for training at the Camp des Loges or the Parc des Princes to be opened to the public. And 78% of supporters ask to be consulted on matters that concern them directly, such as player entrance music.

Another almost unanimous request,he creation of a PSG museum, at the Parc des Princes or elsewhere. It is a plebiscite with 87.2% of the votes. As you will have understood, the supporters are proud of their club, Paris Saint-Germain now hoisting the red and blue colors high…
