The Association Paris Saint-Germain Football, Association loi 1901, commonly known as Association Paris Saint-Germain, or simply Association PSG, is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France. Founded in 1970, the Association manages the amateur section of French professional football clubs Paris Saint-Germain Football Club (men's team) and Paris Saint-Germain Féminine (women's team).

The club's amateur section includes the youngest high-level players of the Paris Saint-Germain Academy and the amateur teams who play in the Paris Region. All PSG footballers, except the two professional teams, are under the supervision of the association. It also handled the male squad before it became a professional sport limited company in 1991. The female side broke away from the association after assuming professional status in 2012.

Its headquarters are located at the Camp des Loges and the Stade Georges Lefèvre in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. PSG Academy teams train and play their home matches at Campus PSG, the club's training ground located in Poissy, nearby Paris.

On June 17, 1970, Paris Football Club and Stade Saint-Germain merged to form Paris Saint-Germain Football Club.^[1] It was made official on August 12, 1970, with the creation of the Association Paris Saint-Germain Football, Association loi 1901.^[1][2] This nonprofit organization managed the club's amateur and professional activities for two decades. When Canal+ bought PSG in May 1991, they created the Société Anonyme Sportive Professionnelle Paris Saint-Germain Football Club (SASP, i.e., professional sport limited company).^[1]

Now two separate entities, each one with a different president, the association transferred the professional section to the SASP, while keeping control over the amateur section. Despite granting its French Football Federation affiliation number to the SASP, the association are still in charge of registering the club's professional football teams in official competitions such as Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Trophée des Champions, UEFA Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup. Both organizations signed a new 10-year agreement in 2019.^[1]

Between 1970 and 2012, the club's professional section only consisted of the men's team.^[1] Formed in 1971, the women's side, Paris Saint-Germain Féminine, initially had amateur status and were run by the association. When the team turned professional in September 2012, it detached from the association and integrated the SASP.^[1][3][4][5] Today, the club's amateur section is mainly composed of the Paris Saint-Germain Academy men's and women's teams, which are managed by the association.^[1][6]

Nasser Al-Khelaifi is the current president of the SASP.^[1] On the other hand, the association has had nine presidents.^[1][7] Pierre-Étienne Guyot was the association and club's first president, while Francis Borelli was the last to preside both. Bernard Brochand was the first president of the association after it became an independent organization from the club in 1991.^[7] Benoît Rousseau is the association's current president.^[1] He has been in charge since December 2012.^[7] Previous chairman Simon Tahar was the last to preside the academy sides and the female's first team; the latter professionalized in 2012.^[3][4][5] Tahar and Rousseau also served as interim club presidents for a few months in 2008 and 2011, respectively. Alain Cayzac occupied both positions as well. He was the association's president between 2001 and 2006, and then club president from 2006 to 2008.^[7]

The role of the Association Paris Saint-Germain is to promote the practice of amateur football among young girls and boys through the Paris Saint-Germain Academy, considered one of the best youth systems in France, but also among seniors, veterans and young adults in Paris Region through separate teams.^[1][8] The PSG Academy is currently based at the Campus PSG, located in Poissy, nearby Paris.^[9] It became the training facility and home ground of PSG's male and female academies in January 2024, replacing the Camp des Loges.^[9][10] Children recruited by the club join the academy and work their way up through the ranks, before breaking into the professional squad or signing professional contracts with other clubs.^[8] Weekly confrontations with French and European clubs are organized by the Association.^[1] 35 teams, 45 managers and 500 to 750 players of all age groups are on the fields every weekend.^[1][6]
