Founded2003

Paris Foot Gay (abbreviated to PFG) is an amateur, local league football club from Paris, the capital of France. The team is made up of around 30% homosexual players.

Since 2007, it has been in partnership with Paris Saint-Germain FC, the city's sole top-flight club. Vikash Dhorasoo, a heterosexual former French international and PSG player, is the club's patron.[1] Alain Cayzac, PSG's President at the time of the deal, has been PFG's honorary President since 15 May 2010.[2]

Charter

Jean-Louis Triaud, President of Girondins de Bordeaux of Ligue 1, signs the charter on 14 October 2010.[3]

In addition to its team, the club has the goal of combatting homophobia in football and wider society. It composed a charter, which has been ratified by nine professional, national league (Ligue 1 and 2) clubs. The first club to sign it was Paris Saint-Germain, the capital's sole top-flight club, on 5 September 2007. The two clubs agreed on a partnership in the same deal.[4] On 29 November 2012, OGC Nice, the third signee (since 7 November 2009), were struck from the agreement following homophobic chanting by their fans against their rival, SC Bastia.[5] Paris' City Hall signed the charter on 31 May 2011.[6]

Créteil Bébel incident

On 4 October 2009, Créteil Bébel, a Créteil-based club composed entirely of practicing Muslims, refused to play PFG due to their religious convictions. Bébel were permanently expelled from the local football association as a result.[7]
