Can Europe's richest family turn Paris into a city of football rivals?

Paris has never truly been a football crucible in the French capital.

The city has had only one club in France 's top division since Racing Paris were relegated 35 years ago .

Twenty-nine players from the greater Paris area went to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar , including 11 members of the France squad which reached the final.

Bernard Arnault , founder of LVMH , is the richest man in Europe , with a estimated $190 billion fortune.

Paris FC join forces with Red Bull in takeover of French club PSG.

Club president Pierre Ferracci is set to stay on till 2027 under deal with the Arnaults and Red Bull.

PSG are riding high right now as real Champions League contenders, having secured their 13th French title in double-quick time.

Some doubt whether there is enough football passion in Paris to support a second top-tier football club.

Red Star represents the Seine-Saint-Denis department, dubbed "the 93 " for its postcode, known for its large immigrant population, poverty and football.

The club won the French Cup five times between 1921 and 1942 , but these days is fighting to stay in Ligue 2 while dreaming of a return to the top division.
