Paris Saint-Germain Féminines is a French women's professional football club based in Paris. It was formed in 1991 as the female section of Paris Saint-Germain Football Club.[1]

The first team, managed by Patrice Lair, participates in Division 1 Féminine for the 12th consecutive season. PSG Féminines operates at the CSLBF de Bougival (training centre) and for home games, the team plays at the Stade Sébastien Charléty.[1]

Domestically, PSG have won one Division 2 Féminine title and one Coupe de France Féminine. In international club football, the Parisian side reached the 2015 UEFA Women's Champions League Final. Meanwhile, the Under-19 side won the Challenge National Féminin (D1 equivalent) in the 2015–16 season.[1]

History

The ladies celebrate their qualification to the Champions League.

The female section of Paris Saint-Germain was founded in 1991. The newly formed team began life in the Division 1 Féminine for the 1991–92 season, being relegated to the Division 2 Féminine at the end of that campaign.[2] PSG returned to the top-flight in 1994,[3] but finished rock-bottom and was relegated straight back to D2 in 1995.[2] Six years later, PSG won the D2 title and was promoted to the premier division in 2001. Since then, "Les Parisiennes" have never been relegated from D1.[1]

PSG reached the final of the 2007–08 Coupe de France Féminine, but lost to Olympique Lyonnais at the Stade de France.[1] The following season, the ladies played their first D1 match at the Parc des Princes in 2009 and then won the 2009–10 Coupe de France Féminine, the club's first major title, by defeating Montpellier 5–0 in the Final at the Stade Robert Bobin.[4]

PSG finished runners-up of the 2010–11 Division 1 Féminine and qualified to the UEFA Women's Champions League for the first time in its history, crowned with a decisive victory over second-placed Montpellier in the final match of the season.[5] The club from the capital would finish D1 runners-up in 2012–13, 2013–14, 2014–15 and 2015–16, always behind champions Lyon. The ladies also lost the 2013–14 Coupe de France Féminine Final to Lyon.[1]

On the other hand, PSG Féminines reached the Final of the 2014–15 UEFA Women's Champions League, eliminating Lyon 2–1 on aggregate in the last 16.[6] However, a goal in added time from substitute Mandy Islacker earned Frankfurt a 2-1 win against Paris Saint-Germain, and a record fourth European title.[7]

First-team squad

French teams are limited to four players without EU citizenship. Hence, the squad list includes only the principal nationality of each player; several non-European players on the squad have dual citizenship with an EU country. Also, players from the ACP countries—countries in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific that are signatories to the Cotonou Agreement—are not counted against non-EU quotas due to the Kolpak ruling.
