Formed in 1971, the women's team initially had amateur status and were run by the Association Paris Saint-Germain. [6] [7] [8] [9] This organisation, founded in 1970, managed the club's amateur and professional activities for two decades. It all changed when PSG were bought by Canal+ in May 1991.

The Association and the club (SASP, i.e., professional sport limited company) were now two separate entities, each one with a different president.

Between 1970 and 2012, the club's professional section only consisted of the men's team. [9] When the female side turned professional in September 2012 it detached from the Association and integrated the SASP. [9] [6] [7] [8] As with the male outfit, Nasser Al-Khelaifi became the new president. [1] [2]

[6] [7] [8] [9] Nasser Al-Khelaifi became the first president of the club after its professionalisation in 2012. [2]

PSG won its maiden honour, the Division 2 title, under Bernard Brochand in 2001. [4] Simon Tahar was in office when the club claimed its first major trophy, the Coupe de France, in 2010.
