While Paris Saint-Germain once considered making Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines their future home stadium, it is the FC Versailles that has now decided to settle there. Currently based in the Yvelines, the club competing in National (the third division), finds itself somewhat without a permanent base. It previously played some matches at the Jean-Bouin stadium, as the Montbauron stadium in Versailles did not meet standards, before securing a home ground until 2027 at the Stade Georges-Lefèvre in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
However, the Versaillais are eager to come home to reconnect with their fans and reclaim their identity. The goal? To become the "true flagship club of Yvelines", according to Le Parisien, with state-of-the-art facilities.
The club, led by Alexandre Mulliez—grandson of Auchan's founder—is planning to establish its future stadium on the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines leisure island, along with a training and development center and administrative offices. The stadium would seat 10,000 spectators, meeting the requirement needed to enter Ligue 2 and secure the club's position in professional football.
The arrival of FC Versailles would further enhance the region's sporting appeal, already home to the Golf National and the Vélodrome National. According to sources, an agreement is currently being finalized with the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines metropolitan area (SQY), and if the project progresses smoothly, it could be completed by 2028-2029.
