Campus PSG

[1][2][3] Located in Poissy, it replaced the Camp des Loges, the club's historical training facility in nearby Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

Instead of laying a stone, the Mayor of Poissy, Karl Olive, and the deputy general manager of PSG, Jean-Claude Blanc, launched the construction by planting the first of the 3,000 trees that will live in the club's environmentally friendly centre.

[17][18] Located in a hilly area just outside Paris, at the heart of a natural landscaped setting, preserving this identity was one of the key points of the architectural project undertaken by the Wilmotte & Associés agency.

[27] The Paris Saint-Germain Training Center will bring together – for the first time, and in the same location – the club's male professional football, handball and judo teams, as well as the academies for football and handball; and the Club House will be the central meeting point of the entire PSG family, gathering players, staff and invited teams.

Inside, a shape entitled “The Blue Flight” rises skywards, symbolising the ultimate goal of all of the club's athletes according to chief architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte.

[22] Surrounded by greenery, the professional footballers' building is located on the highest level of the site, with its rooftop terrace providing a 360° view of the Paris Saint-Germain Training Center.

[24][28] There, the Paris Saint-Germain Training Center will offer talented young footballers, aged between 13 and 19, first-rate educational and sporting support.

[24] On the second plateau of the Paris Saint-Germain Training Center, handball players – professionals as well as academy attendees – and judokas will have their own specific areas and facilities spread over 4,510 m2 of space:[25] Located at the front of the site and boasting a capacity of 5,000 spectators, including 3,000 seats, the Paris Saint-Germain Training Center Stadium will be the largest football arena in the Yvelines department.

The stadium's dynamic architecture is composed of slender, horizontal, semi-filtering arcs; and its powerful floodlights lit up on match nights will illuminate the entire site.

Placed under the patronage of the French National Commission for UNESCO, this after-school programme, run and developed by the foundation, will help underprivileged children aged 7 to 11 in Poissy through education and sport.

The facilities of the training center will also enable the arrival and supervision of young patients as part of the partnership between the foundation and the Necker Hospital for Sick Children.
