Summary
Newly promoted Paris FC, not to be confused with the Paris Saint-Germain, will be on the road to take on Angers in their French Ligue 1 2025-26 season opener on Sunday (August 17, 2025). Here's all you need to know about the Angers vs Paris FC football match, to be played at Raymond Kopa Stadium.
Paris FC earned their long-awaited return to Ligue 1 after a 46-year absence. The Parisian side, bolstered by wealthy owners and strong financial backing, finished second in Ligue 2 last season to secure promotion to the French top flight. They finished just two points behind champions Lorient in Ligue 2, sealing automatic promotion.
And expectedly, the focus is on the visitor ahead of tonight's pivotal Ligue 1 match. Their previous Ligue 1 appearance in the 1978-79 season ended with relegation after just one season. The club even underwent a merger with Paris Saint-Germain in 1970, but split again in 1972.
Angers, managed by Alexander Dujeux, survived relegation last season after an unlikely promotion, and they enter the 2025-26 Ligue 1 campaign as one of the favourites to go down again.
