PSG announced it yesterday. The location where its future stadium will be located will be determined between the sites of Poissy, which today belongs to Stellantis on the banks of the Seine, and Massy. This choice made happy and unhappy since the Ris-Orangis project was not selected, to the chagrin of the mayor of the Essonnian commune. In a press release addressed to the press this Wednesday, Stéphane Raffalli expressed his misunderstanding in the face of this choice. According to him, the site he offered on the racetrack had all the required qualities. “”Yesterday afternoon, the director general of Paris Saint Germain, Victoriano Melero, told me by phone that our racetrack was not retained by the club to build his new stadium. Against all expectations, only the Stellantis industrial site, by the river in Poissy and a 17 -hectare commercial land in the middle of Massy will be the subject of in -depth studies with a final choice announced in the fall of 2026Starts the councilor, convinced of the qualities of his candidacy and necessarily very disappointed not to see PSG landing in Essonne in a few years.
“”It is of course an immense disappointment for all of us, as the arrival of PSG on our popular territory aroused hope in particular with our youth. We have not managed to build the evidence but we take note of this sovereign choice of PSG leaders. This decision is based on reasons that go beyond us and that I do not know. I remain convinced that our site is remarkable and unique in Île-de-France to accommodate a project of such a scope, offering unparalleled intrinsic qualities: 100 hectares of wasteland, a land without technical, legal, regulatory or physical servitude, land in dense urban areas but sufficiently far from the first homes to avoid neighborhood disorders and conflicts of use, double accessibility and Large capacity rail directly connected to the site, a feasibility as soon as possible, guaranteed feasibility and at the best cost, unanimous political and citizen support.He and local elected officials still have hope of making this Ris-Orangis site a place for an international project.
