Common card · No. 416742

The Paris derby (French: Derby de Paris), also referred to as Derby de Paris, Derby de la Capitale, or Le Derby Parisien, is a French football rivalry contested between Paris Saint-Germain FC (PSG) and Paris FC (PFC), the two largest professional clubs based in Paris, France. The rivalry has roots in the history of football in Paris, where established clubs such as Racing Club de France Football and Red Star FC once competed for prominence.

After the two clubs split in 1972, PSG established itself as Paris's leading club, regularly competing in Ligue 1 and European competitions.

PSG's Parc des Princes and Paris FC's Stade Jean-Bouin are located close to one another in Paris's 16th arrondissement...
