GOAT, the global platform for the past, present and future, and Paris Saint-Germain, the fastest growing world sports franchise, today announce the launch of People of Paris, a joint visual campaign that captures the style and history of PSG with unique contributions from the Paris community. The campaign is also a celebration of the new Paris Saint-Germain experience that will go live on the GOAT platform in early August.
Malick, 53, Lifelong PSG fan and his son Lamine: “To me it's the feeling of belonging in a group, it's a family spirit because football is something that gathers people together and erases inequalities. When players go together on the pitch, they forget about belonging to a political party, they forget about race or religion. And that, only sport, can do that.”
Anna, 31, artist and teacher: “Coming from the south of France, Paris is a city that made me dream all my childhood and has pushed me to do better in so many domains. I’m so attached to Paris and it is an honor to be associated with this magical city and its club.”
Marguerite, 22, footballer, founder of Witch FC Paris: “When you're a fan of Paris Saint-Germain, you can be a man, a woman, a singer, a banker. It doesn't matter. The first goal is that we all support the same team, that we are united.”
Karthoum, 20, student and footballer: “For me the community is a group of people who share something. It can be a passion, a common history or even a common state of mind. In the notion of community there is really the idea of sharing a few things and having common goals.”
Ibrahim, 22: “The spirit of PSG is defined by solidarity. Our fans come from all walks of life and social backgrounds. Being the club that represents the Paris region allows a strong sense of belonging.”
People of Paris celebrates people of all walks of life — from decades-long PSG fans, to legends and the players themselves. Styled in iconic PSG jerseys from the past and present, as well as archival PSG apparel and accessories and fashion from GOAT's wider offering, the campaign highlights the unique identities and styles that make up the greater Parisian community.
"As we continue to invest in our global community, we're pleased to introduce our People of Paris campaign," said Sen Sugano, Chief Brand Officer of GOAT Group. "We'll showcase the Parisian community by bringing together cultural figures, players, fans and everyday people. Through this campaign, we aim to highlight the common bond that brings this diverse group together: their love for the city and PSG."
"This first GOAT x PSG campaign, featuring players and fans marks the arrival of GOAT into the PSG family," said Marc Armstrong, Chief Partnerships Officer of Paris Saint-Germain. "GOAT is an iconic next generation brand and we are proud to show our fusion of style on the streets of Paris and all over the world. Together we celebrate the uniqueness of all those who represent Paris and PSG."
The first official billboard for 'People of Paris' will be revealed at the Louvre Rivoli on August 1. To coincide with the campaign, a curated collection of new and vintage apparel will be available on GOAT's dedicated Paris Saint-Germain in-app and web experience on GOAT.com/PSG from early August. Throughout the season, new experiences and limited edition products will be released through the platform and provide a destination for customers to be inspired through content and unique products.
