[Saba Sports News] As a newcomer to Ligue 1 this season, Paris FC will host their first home game this weekend. Surprisingly, the tickets for the home game were sold out early and have been in short supply. In addition to 2,000 free tickets allocated to the club’s partner fan associations, the official box office has sold 11,000 tickets. Furthermore, the club has nearly 7,000 season ticket holders. 25 out of 30 executive boxes have been sold, and three-quarters of the VIP lounges are fully booked. During their time in Ligue 2, Paris FC implemented a policy of free admission for all home league games, which attracted a large number of fans, with an average attendance of nearly 10,000 per game – double the number before the policy. After promotion to Ligue 1, although admission is no longer completely free, the team’s influence and appeal continue to grow, and the fan base is expanding. We believe this indicates the team’s commercial value is gradually becoming apparent. With the team’s continued performance in Ligue 1 and expanding influence, they are expected to generate more revenue in the future from ticket sales, commercial sponsorships, advertising, etc., providing a solid economic foundation for the club’s long-term development.
