Football culture

Hi everyone, I'm from Belgium, and my upcoming thesis is about football and society in Western Europe. I have a quick question: how popular is football in Paris, particularly when it comes to clubs like PSG and Paris FC? Is there a distinct football culture in Paris, and how does it compare to other football hubs in France, like Marseille or Lyon?

Additionally, I'd love to hear your thoughts on these related topics:

  1. How does football's popularity vary among Parisians based on their sociocultural backgrounds?
  2. Does Paris's image as a cosmopolitan and global city influence the way football is perceived and supported?
  3. How do the histories and identities of PSG and Paris FC shape their respective fanbases and football culture in the city?
  4. What role does football play in bridging or highlighting social and economic divides within Paris?
  5. How do the football traditions in Paris compare to those in other French cities, given the city's unique historical and cultural context?

Thanks in advance for your insights!
