The achievement of Ligue 1 promotion for Paris FC materialized after a 1-1 draw against Martigues on Friday, following a 46-year absence from the French top-tier league. The match outcomes mathematically confirmed their spot in the top two of Ligue 2 standings which secured their position in the top-flight competition of 2025-26.
Paris has reached a historic milestone by obtaining two Ligue 1 teams for the first time since 1990 as Paris FC joins Paris Saint-Germain in the Premier League. It has been more than three decades since the French capital experienced such a top-level football rivalry at the professional level when Racing Paris 1 (formerly Matra Racing) completed its last relegation.
With this campaign, Paris FC reaches an important stage in their goals as part of their new ownership platform. The organization gained ownership by the family of French luxury goods magnate Bernard Arnault to propel itself towards becoming both a European football and domestic powerhouse.
