Paris Saint-Germain Féminines is a French women's professional football club based in Paris. It was formed in 1971 as the female section of Paris Saint-Germain Football Club.^[1]

The first team, managed by Farid Benstiti, participates in Division 1 Féminine for the 12th consecutive season and now operates at Bougival's training centre. For their home games, the team abandoned the Stade Municipal Georges Lefèvre in favour of the Stade Sébastien Charléty, in the heart of Paris.^[1]

Domestically, Paris Saint-Germain Féminines has won the Division 2 Féminine title once and the Coupe de France Féminine once. In international club football, the Parisian side reached the 2015 Final of the UEFA Women's Champions League, losing 2–1 to Frankfurt.^[1]

History

Les Parisiennes lift the French Cup title.

The female section of Paris Saint-Germain was born in the summer of 1971, following the green light given by the French Football Federation for the practice of women's football. For the 1971–72 season, the club signed 33 women. At the end of the 1978–79 season, Paris Saint-Germain Féminines was promoted to Division 1 Féminine.^[1] However, PSG was relegated to Division 2 Féminine in 1982,^[2] finishing runners-up in the 1982–83 season and the 1984–85 season.^[1] The ladies finally achieved promotion to Division 1 in 1987, staying put until 1992, when they were relegated again.^[2] PSG returned to the top-flight in 1994,^[3] but following a disastrous season, "Les Parisiennes" finished rock-bottom and were relegated straight back to Division 2 in 1995.^[2] Six years later, PSG won the D2 title and were promoted to the premier division in 2001. Since then, the ladies have never been relegated from Division 1.^[1]

The ladies' qualification to the Champions League.

During the 2007–08 season, PSG reached the final of the Coupe de France Féminine, but lost to Olympique Lyonnais at the Stade de France. "Les Parisiennes" conceded three goals after having withstood the French champions in the first half.^[1] Two seasons later, the ladies played their first D1 match at the Parc des Princes on 18 October 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]

The face of the team changed slightly for the 2010–11 season. Ingrid Boyeldieu, Émilie L'Huillier and Stéphanie Hoffele left PSG, while Gwenaëlle Pelé and Sophie Perrichon joined the coaching staff. Léa Rubio, Léa Le Garrec and Charlotte Lozè were signed as replacements.^[5] Brazilian striker Kátia, top-scorer with Lyon in last season's Division 1 with 27 goals, was PSG's star signing.^[6] She played an important role in PSG's qualification 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.^[7] In the 2014–15 season, for the first time in the history of the club, PSG Féminines managed to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, after eliminating Lyon 2–1 on aggregate in the last 16.^[8]

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.
