Paris Saint-Germain have made their separation from Parias Cohortis permanent, keeping the supporter group out of Auteuil at the Parc des Princes and barring it from following the team away from home.
The move
Parias Cohortis, a group of around 80 members within the Collectif Ultras Paris, had already been suspended last season after a violent confrontation involving Paris supporters during PSG’s trip to Angers in April.
Its route back into the Auteuil stand and the wider CUP had been made conditional on several steps. The group was required to remove members involved in violence and to change its position within the stadium.
Those terms were not fulfilled. Parias Cohortis did not exclude the supporters considered most responsible for the disorder, and PSG reviewed the situation again over the summer after further talks.
The club has now upheld the exclusion indefinitely. PSG’s position is that violence will not be accepted, with the club judging that the central requirement set within a defined timeframe had not been met.
The French season around it
The decision means Parias Cohortis will have no place in the Auteuil section for PSG home fixtures and will also be unable to travel in support of the club.

For PSG, the outcome closes the door on a return that had remained possible after last season’s temporary removal. For the group, the consequences now extend from the Parc des Princes to every away day on the French calendar.
