Starting January 2nd, Paris Saint-Germain will open the doors of its Poissy Campus to KAS Eupen, a Belgian club recently acquired by QSI, as revealed by L’Equipe. Fifth in the Second Division, the team coached by Bruno Pinheiro (49 years old) will come to prepare for the second half of the season in an elite setting. This move reflects the overall strategy of the Qatari group.
“The Belgians will not be staying on the campus itself but will use the pitches for training.”
“Starting January 2nd, the Paris Saint-Germain Campus in Poissy (Yvelines) will host Eupen, a newcomer to the QSI group, which owns both PSG and the Belgian club. Fifth in the Second Division, Bruno Pinheiro’s men will remain at the Parisian training center until January 10th for a training camp to prepare for the second half of the season.” The Belgian players will not be staying on the campus itself but will have access to the training pitches, weight rooms, and recovery facilities. Eupen resumes competition on January 17th, hosting Beveren, the leaders of the Belgian Second Division after 18 matchdays.
This training camp for Eupen at the Paris Saint-Germain Campus is far from insignificant. On the contrary, it illustrates the growing importance of a group-based approach favored by QSI, where satellite clubs are no longer simply financial assets but genuine testing grounds for sporting innovation.
While not being housed on-site, the Belgian players will benefit from top-level infrastructure: pitches, weight rooms, and recovery areas. A rare luxury for a Belgian Second Division club, but a logical choice in a world where performance is viewed centrally.
For PSG, the objective is also indirect: to harmonize methods and prepare for future connections—whether human, technical, or cultural. Eupen, who resume their league campaign on January 17 against league leaders Beveren, are looking for much more than just a training ground in Poissy. They’re coming to absorb a model. And in the QSI universe, nothing is ever entirely free.
