The “Paris Saint-Germain” intends to expand its empire in sport. And the fact is that the French club is not only engaged in football, because, having got acquainted with judo and handball, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the owner of the Parisian team, seeks to create a team MMA, according to The AB Show.
To piece together this new project, PSG are looking to bring in legend Khabib Nurmagomedov, who previously faced the French club when he was invited to the Parc de los Princes stadium in November 2018 for a Champions League game against Liverpool. .
Since Qatar took over the management of Paris Saint-Germain (2011), the French team has become an internationally recognized multi-sport club.
For example, in handball, the red-blues have dominated national-level competitions for many years, winning nine championships (2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022), four French Supercups ( 2014, 2015, 2016, 2019), five French Cups (2014, 2015, 2018, 2021, 2022) and two League Cups (2017, 2018).
When it comes to judo, the superiority of the Parisians is also evident. Since its recovery in 2017, PSG Judo has won two 1st Division French Senior Championships (2021, women’s and men’s) and two Europa Leagues (2021, women’s and men’s). In addition, Teddy Riner, one of the best judokas in the world, is part of their ranks.
Previously, Khabib Nurmagomedov called the main reason why he will never return to the octagon.
