PSG likes to think big, and the Poissy Campus inauguration gala was no exception to the rule. In the wake of the official opening day of the new training center, already grandiose in itself (300 million euros of investments, 59 hectares, 16 football fields, etc.), the capital club is offered an evening worthy of the event.
In the freezing cold after the morning snowstorm in Yvelines, President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi warmed up the atmosphere with an audience of high-class guests. The PSG boss had invited a clever mix of stars, from the comedian Jamel Debbouze via a member of his judo unit Teddy Riner to the former President of the Republic Nicolas Sarkozy, known for his love of Paris Saint-Germain, but also the most surprising ones like Novak Djokovic, titled at the Olympic Games this summer and welcomed with great fanfare.
A historic day for the future of the club
Politicians had also received an invitation such as the Minister of Sports Gil Avérous, the Renaissance deputy Karl Olive, former mayor of Poissy, at the origin of the arrival of the club on site, or even Valérie Pécresse , the president of the Île-de-France region. Honor was of course given to the club’s players like Marquinhos, surely satisfied with the contract extension of his teammate Achraf Hakimi until 2029, revealed by L’Équipe this Thursday and which we are able to confirm.
The club’s former glories like Pedro Miguel Pauleta and Javier Pastore were also there while the training of the youth sections in the late afternoon and early evening was canceled, heading to Disneyland for them. But the attraction was going well in Poissy.
Just like the influencer Inoxtag and Axelle Saint-Cirel, who sang the Marseillaise at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, all the guests had the right, after a speech by “NAK” celebrating a historic and decisive day for the he future of the club, to a show visible from several hundred meters around in the town of Yvelines. After a giant fireworks display, a drone show drew in the Ile-de-France sky, in which the snowstorms had calmed down in the evening, the symbols of the club, from the logo to the Eiffel Tower including the traditional ” This is Paris.” Since this Thursday, here it is also Poissy.
