With the 80,000-seater Stade de France unavailable for home games in September due to the hosting of the Rugby World Cup, the FFF went looking for an alternative venue.
They settled on the Parc des Princes at a meeting of the Executive Committee, which ended a consultation where 31 cities applied to host both competitive and friendly internationals this year.
Kenny’s Derry City took on PSG in September 2006, drawing 0-0 at the Brandywell and losing 2-0 in the return in Paris.
