List of Paris Saint-Germain F.C. seasons

PSG's star signing Zlatan Ibrahimović for the 2012–13 season kicked off the club's rise to the summit of Ligue 1 supported by their ambitious "Dream Bigger" project.

Paris Saint-Germain F.C. is a professional football club based in Paris, France. The capital club was founded on 12 August 1970 following the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain.[1]

Les Rouge-et-Bleu have won the Ligue 1 title four times, the Ligue 2 once, the Coupe de France eight times, the Coupe de la Ligue five times, the Trophée des Champions three times, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup once and the UEFA Intertoto Cup once.[2]

Having won 23 titles, PSG is the third most successful club in France and one of only two French clubs (with Olympique de Marseille) to win a major European club competition.[3]
