History
[edit | edit source]The Paris franchise was announced on 23 September 2022 via a press statement, together with the Prague Lions for the 2023 European League of Football expansion.[1] The team is owned and operated by the capital group named Les Mousquetaires de Paris and is based in Rosny-sous-Bois, east of Paris. The team name Saints, logo and colors of the franchise were unveiled on 23 January 2023.[2] At that point they were temporarily known as the Paris Football Team. On 27 February 2023, the organization announced, that the official name would be the Musketeers.[3]
The first head coach of the franchise was former Vanderbilt Commodores' defensive secondary coach Marc Mattioli.[4][5]
On 20 November 2022, a recruitment camp was held with around 240 French and international players in attendance. French nationals Mamadou Sy and Mamadou Doumbouya,[6] were selected for the team, with both having their origins from the national league champion La Courneuve Flash.[7] Further building blocks of the roster consists of the first ever franchise quarterback Zach Edwards,[8] coming from the Barcelona Dragons.
On 7 September 2024, the team made its first post-season appearance which resulted in a loss against the Vienna Vikings. Mattoli left the team to become the defensive coordinator for Kennesaw State, an American college football team following the 2024 season.[9] Former NFL head coach, Jack Del Rio, was hired on 17 January 2025, as the next head coach of the team.[10]
