Why Ligue 1?

Synonymous with Talent

Dubbed the ‘League of Talents’, Ligue 1 is synonymous with talent. Ligue 1 has been responsible for producing the likes of 1998 Ballon d’Or winner Zinedine Zidane, who established himself at Bordeaux after starting his career at AS Cannes. Ballon d’Or runner-up (2003) and European Golden Shoe winner (2003–04, 2004–05), Thierry Henry was a prominent figure in Monaco’s youth team before moving up the ranks and going on to score 20 goals for the senior team in 105 appearances. More recently, 2018 FIFA World Cup winner Kylian Mbappé was a product of Monaco’s youth team before establishing himself at PSG.

Ranked 5th by UEFA

Current champions Paris Saint-Germain are among the favourites for the title every year; however, there have been seasons where they have lost the title to rival clubs. LOSC Lille became champions in 2020/2021 after an outstanding season under Christophe Galtier, who later went on to manage PSG. Despite PSG’s dominance, Ligue 1 is ranked 5th on UEFA’s Country Coefficients.

Commercial stability

A new directive for the 2023–24 season reduced the number of competing teams from 20 to 18. The decision was made to improve the profitability of participating clubs and increase club finances. With the league’s commercial stability, rest assured that your investment won’t go to waste.
