Paris achieves historic treble in football, handball, and basketball championships.
Key Points
- • Paris claims its first-ever treble in major team sports in 2025.
- • Paris Basketball's victory on June 25 completes the treble after PSG's wins in football and handball.
- • This marks the first time a city has won championships in three major team sports in a single year in France.
- • Other cities have had success in multiple sports, but none matched Paris's 2025 achievement.
In a historic sporting milestone, Paris has achieved an unprecedented treble by winning the French national championships in football, handball, and basketball in 2025. This remarkable feat was finalized on June 25 when Paris Basketball claimed the French Championship title, adding to the victories of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in football on April 5 and handball on June 4.
The Paris Basketball team’s championship victory signifies that, for the first time, a city in France has won titles in all three major team sports in the same year. Previously, various teams from Paris had come close to this achievement, having secured multiple doubles over the years, but none had secured the treble until now.
Only four other cities in France have won championships in two major team sports within the same calendar year, with Marseille being the first in this arena back in 1948. While women's teams have also celebrated significant achievements, such as Lyon's treble in 2019, Paris' three titles across men’s major sports remains a historic anomaly.
This achievement not only elevates the sporting prestige of Paris but showcases the intense competitive spirit present in French team sports, setting a new benchmark that other cities will aspire to reach. As noted in the coverage, Paris has long been a hub of sporting excellence, and this new triumph solidifies its position at the pinnacle of French team sports.
