For the first time in 35 years, two Paris-based soccer clubs will be playing in France’s top division. Paris FC, which was recently bought by France's richest family, secured promotion to the topflight and will join Qatar-funded Paris Saint-Germain next season in the elite as the City of Light’s soccer scene undergoes a major facelift.

With their promotion, Paris FC will join their famed rivals Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1. This will mark the first time in 35 years that two clubs from the French capital will compete in the top flight in the same season.

Six months after a joint takeover that involved Europe's billionaire Arnault family and drinks giant Red Bull, Paris FC squeezed out a draw at Martigues on Friday, locking a promotion to Ligue 1.
