PSG enters a new era with their ultra modern training arena
After a wait that lasted several years, PSG will finally settle in its new training center in Poissy. A huge leap forward for the capital club, which will have facilities never seen before for a football club.
This time it’s the right one, when Kylian Mbappé and his PSG teammates go back to training on July 10, they will no longer go to Camp des Loges, but to the new training center in Poissy. After a long wait, both because the file took a long time to set up, but also because the site was not easy, Paris Saint-Germain will finally have a tool to match the ambitions displayed by Qatar.
This jewel, which is not completely finished, will have cost 300 million euros to the club of the capital, but it is obvious, it allows Paris to enter a new era. While the leaders of PSG are negotiating an agreement for the naming of this training center, we are talking about an amount greater than the 20 million euros currently affected with Ooredoo, the former mayor of Poissy is already in ecstasy.
End clap at the Camp des Loges
July 8, 1970-June 2, 2023… 19,302 days later (i.e. 52 years, 10 months and 5 days), the professional section of Paris Saint-Germain bows out in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, before the start of the school year in Poissy next season.
History will remember that Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, Marquinhos and their teammates trained one last time at the Camp des Loges training center this Friday, June 2, 2023, on the eve of the reception of Clermont for the 38th day of the League. 1, which will see them lift the 11th champion trophy in club history, a record in France.
July 28, 1970 was a historic date in the history of Paris Saint-Germain Football Club. All the Parisian leaders were present for the first training of the players on the lawns of the Camp des Loges in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. The media were also present in large numbers for this great first and at its end, the red and blue leader Guy Crescent declared with enthusiasm: “From now on, you belong to a family. The Paris Football Club and the Stade Sangermanois, it’s over. Now we are Paris Saint-Germain! »
The Camp des Loges has therefore been the training center of the Rouge et Bleu since the creation of the club. Originally, the land was occupied by a military base which hosted the regional engineering directorate in Île-de-France. The Stade Sangermanois, then Paris Saint-Germain in 1970, are the tenants of this omnisport complex. Until 1974 and the rise to the first division, the Rouge et Bleu played their league matches at the Stade Georges Lefèvre, named in memory of a former Saint-Germain player who died in combat during the Second World War.
The Camp des Loges also hosted the Training Center, inaugurated on November 4, 1975, and the home meetings of the reserve team and the youth sections of PSG.
On November 4, 2008, after ten months of work, a new ultra-modern building located 400 meters from the former training center opened its doors.
On September 12, 2013, following the signing of a sponsorship contract, the training center was renamed “Ooredoo Training Center”.
Hundreds of players will therefore have walked the lawns of Camp des Loges since 1970: 492 have worn the Parisian colors to date in an official match with the first team, not to mention all the young people who came to train with the professional team.
A page in the history of the club turns in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, which will host the women’s section for the next six months.
