Do you know what Toulouse and Paris Saint-Germain have in common? They were established in the same year (1970). This may cause you to question what was going on in two of France’s biggest cities beforehand but never fear football was very much alive. PSG were formed following the merger of Saint-Germain and Paris FC while the former Toulouse club (also called Toulouse Football Club) “merged” with Red Star (now in National, France’s 3rd tier) which was more of an acquisition as TFC packed up their bags to play in Northern Paris in 1967, leaving Toulouse without a football club for three years.
