- PSG’s ultras have displayed Palestinian symbols at several recent European matches.
A video circulating online shows Paris Saint-Germain supporters waving Palestinian flags in the away section at the Etihad Stadium during the club’s Champions League league-phase match at Manchester City.
PSG’s hardline supporters are known for their stance on Gaza. In November 2024, the Paris Ultras Collective unveiled a 50-meter-wide “Free Palestine” tifo at the Parc des Princes before a match against Atlético Madrid. France’s interior minister called it unacceptable. UEFA opened no disciplinary case, saying the banner could not be considered provocative or insulting.
Before the 2025 Champions League final in Munich, hundreds of PSG fans marched with Palestinian flags, and fans held a “Stop the Genocide in Gaza” banner in the stadium. A “Free Palestine” tifo had also appeared in the semi-final against Arsenal. After PSG’s later title win over Arsenal, Palestinian flags were seen alongside club color in Paris.
