HISTORY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF PARIS SAINT GERMAIN
First established in 1904, the club was named Stade Saint Germain. It wasn't until August 1970 that the club changed its name to Paris Saint Germain, after Paris FC and Stade Saint Germain decided to merge. PSG's first year in French football competition started in the second division competition. It was only in the second year that they ascended the throne to the first/main division, even though they were finally relegated again at the end of the season. After experiencing a myriad of problems, PSG finally started its golden era at the hands of Francois Borelli, where he served as chairman. Two French Cup titles and one Ligue 1 title were won by the team under his leadership.
Since then, PSG have never again reached the peak of their glory. There have been many scandals and the club has often been in debt. However, PSG can still continue their performance to survive in the top division until now. Paris Saint Germain has several achievements in domestic competition, including 2 times Ligue 1 champions (1986, 1994), 8 times French Cup champions (1982, 1983, 1993, 1995, 1998, 2004, 2006, 2010), 3 Cups League (1995, 1998, 2008), and 2 times French Super Cup winner (1995, 1998). Meanwhile, on the European stage, PSG won the Winners Cup 1 time (1996), and 1 Intertoto Cup winner (2001).
