The complex's main stadium, with a seating capacity of 2,164 spectators, was one of PSG's main grounds until 1974.[1][2] That year the club moved into the Parc des Princes.[3] The stadium — as well as the other artificial turf and grass football pitches of the complex — hosts training sessions and home matches for the club's male and female youth academy sides.[1]

In 2022, the club's male football team and academy will move to the Paris Saint-Germain Training Center, which will be located in nearby Poissy.[4][5][6] It will have its own stadium, which will complement Parc des Princes.[4] With a total capacity of 5,000, including over 3,000 seats, the arena will host matches for PSG's youth and female sides in official competitions.[7]

PSG, however, will remain closely linked to its historic birthplace in Saint-Germain-en-Laye as Camp des Loges will become the training ground of the female football team and academy.[8][9] As a result, Stade Municipal Georges Lefèvre will continue to host training sessions and home matches for the club's female youth academy sides.[1]
