Paris Saint-Germain Women

Marie-Antoinette Katoto remains the club's all-time leading scorer. The team traces back to 1971, a year after the men's club, and for a long stretch its story was one of climbing rather than arriving: promotion in 1979, relegation in 1982, and a return to the top flight only in 2001. Nearly a decade passed before the first major trophy came, a Coupe de France Féminine won in 2010. The Qatari takeover of 2012 brought professional contracts and higher ambitions, and the club has since reached three Champions League finals, losing each time — to Eintracht Frankfurt in 2015, Olympique Lyonnais in 2017, and Barcelona twice, in 2023 and 2024. Sabrina Delannoy holds the club's appearance record. The 2020–21 league title stands apart in the club's history: it ended Lyon's grip on the championship. Home matches take place at Campus PSG in Poissy, a modest ground of 1,100 seats, though the biggest occasions move to Parc des Princes, where crowds can run into the tens of thousands. What Paris Saint-Germain Women have not managed, across four Coupe de France titles and a growing collection of near-misses in Europe, is a Champions League trophy itself — the one line still missing from a decade of finals.
