User:Ankeitte/Stade Saint-Germain (1904)

Stade Saint-Germain was a sports club founded in 1904 in association football in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Among its most active sections are football, which began its activities in 1904.

In 1970, the football section of Stade Saint-Germain merged with the Paris Football Club to give birth to the Paris Saint-Germain Football Club.

Two years after the merger, in May 1972, the two entities regained their independence. The same applies, for example, to RC Strasbourg, which merged with the Pierrots de Strasbourg for a while. President Patrelle chose to retain the name of PSGFC in order to remain legally entitled (see vote of May 16, 1972 rejecting any change of name).
