Tuesday 16 July 2019 was a historic day for the Training Center, with environmental approval being granted and building permits issued for the centre and the stadium. Their award follows the public inquiry that ran from 18 February to 29 March 2019 and which resulted in the inquiry committee issuing a favourable opinion.

This latest phase represents a major step forward in the execution of the project and enables a schedule to be mapped out. A new operational phase will now begin, with preparatory construction work getting under way at the end of this summer, construction work proper beginning in spring 2020, and the opening taking place in summer 2022.

The club is delighted this latest step has been taken, one that makes several years of hard work a reality. It would like to thank all its partners for their valuable collaboration: Poissy City Council, the Urban Community of Grand Paris Seine & Oise, and Les Yvelines Departmental Council, not to mention the region’s inhabitants and the Training Center’s future neighbours, with whom we have engaged in a constructive, ongoing dialogue.
