Paris Saint-Germain aims to become a global business brand beyond football

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is attempting to transform its identity from a traditional football club into a global business brand, drawing inspiration from FC Barcelona's "més que un club" motto and the New York Yankees' brand recognition. PSG's strategy involves exporting Parisian culture, including art, fashion, and food, through activations like its "La Maison" in New York, aiming for profitability independent of match outcomes. This initiative, driven by Qatar Sports Investments since 2011, seeks to establish PSG as the "most important franchise in sport" by leveraging the appeal of Paris as a city, a move that redefines the concept of a sports club's identity.
