PSG rewarded again, Al-Khelaïfi’s immense pride

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, president of Paris Saint-Germain, reacted on the club’s official website to the Best Team award received this Monday at the Laureus World Sports Awards ceremony. The distinction was given in recognition of PSG’s extraordinary 2024-2025 season.

Al-Khelaïfi: “We are also very proud to represent Paris, French football and France on the international stage”

“On behalf of everyone at Paris Saint-Germain, we would like to express our sincere thanks to the Awards Academy for this distinction, one of the most prestigious. This recognition once again reflects the strength of our collective — at Paris Saint-Germain, the true star is the team, both on and off the pitch. We are also very proud to represent Paris, French football and France on the international stage, using the power of sport to bring people together and create a positive impact. These values are at the heart of the Laureus Awards, and that is what makes this honor, being named Laureus World Team of the Year, so special for Paris Saint-Germain.”

It is a great achievement for PSG, which is seeing all its work recognized worldwide. It is not as significant as winning titles, but it is still a milestone in the life of a club. It is also recognition for French football, with one of its clubs managing to establish itself in the Champions League. Enough to push back somewhat against the idea that Ligue 1 is not strong enough to prepare teams for Europe, something that was heard a lot not so long ago.

Of course, Ligue 1 must now continue to work well, both at the institutional level and at club level, in order to maintain a positive image and ensure that revenues and finances are used properly. Not everything is catastrophic, contrary to what is regularly claimed in some media outlets. But there is room for progress, and that is only normal.
