PSG-Paris FC joins world soccer's closest stadium rivalries
Feb 19, 2025
Reigning Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are to have new next-door neighbours as of next season following last week's announcement that uber-trendy Ligue 2 side Paris FC are moving into the Stade Jean-Bouin, situated almost literally on the doorstep of the Parc des Princes.
Stade Jean-Bouin is the home of the Stade Francais rugby union team, who have agreed a groundshare with Paris FC that will begin at the start of the 2025-26 season and run until at least 2029.
This means that the two Parisian football clubs will be stationed across the street from each other, with PSG and Paris FC due to play their home games at adjacent stadiums with concourses separated by the width of the Rue Claude Farrere, the road that runs between them.
Paris FC had been playing at the Stade Sebastien Charlety but will decamp and move around five miles to the west of the French capital ahead of next season after the deal was officially struck between the club, Stade Francais, and The City of Paris last week.
The move will also see the two football clubs become two of the most cosy bedfellows in professional football. But where do PSG and Paris FC rank on the list of the sport's closest stadiums? We've taken a look around the globe to find the nearest neighbours to find out.
We have included rivalries where at least one club is in their country's top division and, naturally, we have discounted single stadiums which are the shared home of two or more teams.
