PSG expansion plan faces legal challenge from architect’s daughter

The PSG is considering expanding the Parc des Princes in Paris, while also weighing new stadium sites in Massy and Poissy.

An expansion could raise the stadium’s capacity to 70,000 places by increasing its height and removing parts of its roof.

Sophie Taillibert, daughter of the stadium’s architect Roger Taillibert, says the changes could harm the design’s integrity.

She has no legal veto over a building permit or the works, but she can take legal action claiming harm to her father’s work.

Whether a court could suspend construction would depend in part on who owns the stadium when work begins.

The legal outcome could affect whether expansion proceeds and how long any work takes.

PSG is weighing the Paris option against plans for new stadiums in Massy or Poissy.
