Moderator: PSG’s first US tour was a decade ago. Do you think this store opening signifies a renewed commitment to growing their fan base in America?

LD: Absolutely. PSG has been making strides in the US market for a few years now. This store is a tangible sign of their commitment to engaging American fans and expanding their reach further.

Moderator: with the 2026 World Cup coming to the US, Canada, and Mexico, do you think PSG’s presence in New York City will benefit the overall development of soccer in America?

LD: Definitely. The more big clubs invest in the US market, the better.It raises the profile of the sport, generates excitement, and inspires young players. PSG’s presence in New York can only help to fuel the growth of soccer in this country.

Moderator: Landon, thanks for sharing your insights. We’re excited to see the impact PSG’s flagship store will have on the New York City sports landscape and the broader soccer community.
