The stadium, owned by the Paris city council, has been PSG's home since they entered France's top division in 1974. "... the Parc des Princes is not for sale. And it will not be sold. This is a firm and definitive position," Hidalgo told Le Parisien in an interview published on Saturday, when asked for her position on a potential sale of the stadium.
In 2013, PSG reached an agreement with the Paris City Council to extend their lease until 2043, following which they completed a 75 million euro upgrade of the stadium over the course of three years.
