Summary edit
In the summer of 1970, an ambitious group of businessmen decided to create a major team in the French capital.[6][7] Guy Crescent and Pierre-Étienne Guyot chose to merge their virtual side, Paris FC, created in 1969, with Stade Saint-Germain of Henri Patrelle after the team from Saint-Germain-en-Laye, 15km west of Paris and founded in 1904, won promotion to Division 2.[6][7][8] However, the three men were stuck with the financial feasibility of the project until they met Real Madrid president Santiago Bernabéu.[9][10] He told them that starting a crowdfunding campaign was the best solution to establish a new team.[9]
20,000 people backed the project and Paris Saint-Germain were formed on June 17, 1970. Pierre-Étienne Guyot was elected the club's first president a few days later.[6][11][12] For the first time in French football history, the fans had financially contributed in the making of a club.[9] The merger was made official following the creation of the club's association on August 12, 1970.[11] PSG retains this day as their foundation date.[6] Red, blue and white were adopted as the club's traditional colours.[13] The red and blue represent the city of Paris, while the white is a symbol of French royalty and stands for the nearby royal town of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the birthplace of French King Louis XIV.[6][13]
Paris FC contributed with the financial backing, while Stade Saint-Germain provided the sporting infrastructure, from the Division 2 status to the Camp des Loges training center, as well as the manager Pierre Phelipon and most of the players, including Bernard Guignedoux, Michel Prost and Camille Choquier.[13] In addition to becoming PSG's first manager ever, Phelipon was also one of only two player-managers in the history of the club.[4][14] PSG further strengthened their squad with the signing of Jean Djorkaeff, captain of the France national team.[15] PSG's first official game was a 1–1 league draw away to Poitiers on August 23, 1970. Guignedoux scored the club's first ever goal from a free-kick.[16] The club went on to clinch promotion to Division 1 and claim the Division 2 title in its inaugural season.[7][17]
