Billionaire-owned Paris FC promoted after 46 years, set to join PSG in Ligue 1
Paris FC will be back in action in the French top flight next season following an absence of 46 years after it secured promotion to Ligue 1 on Friday following a 1-1 draw at Martigues.
The result guaranteed it a top two finish in Ligue 2, with leader Lorient also having secured promotion.
Paris FC will join champion Paris St Germain in Ligue 1, the first time in 35 years that two clubs from the French capital will compete in the top flight in the same season.

Paris FC was recently acquired by the family of French billionaire Bernard Arnault, who has said he aims to lift the club to be among the elite of French and European football.
The club earlier announced that next season it will move its home ground from Charlety stadium to Stade Jean-Bouin, which sits just across the street from PSG's home, the Parc des Princes.
Paris has not had two clubs in the top division since Racing Paris 1 (formerly Matra Racing) was relegated in 1990.
