Paris FC is actually historically tied to Paris Saint-Germain and goes back to the 1970s. The clubs were originally one unit, but they split at the beginning of the decade and went their own separate paths. While PSG has clearly been the more successful of the two in recent history, Paris FC is an important fixture on the sport’s landscape.
