The 1972–73 season was Paris Saint-Germain's 3rd season in existence.[1][2] PSG played their home league games at the Stade Municipal Georges Lefèvre in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, registering an average attendance of 679 spectators per match.[1][2][3] The club was presided by Henri Patrelle and the team was managed by Robert Vicot.[1][2] Camille Choquier was the team captain.[4]

Paris Saint-Germain split on June 1, 1972.[5][6] Paris FC remained in Division 1, while PSG kept their name but were administratively relegated to Division 3, thus losing professional status.[5][7] Bound by professional contracts with Paris FC, most of the club's stars, including team captain Jean Djorkaeff and Bernard Guignedoux, continued playing in Division 1. Since only top-tier pro clubs could have a reserve team, PSG took the spot of their development side in the third tier and rebuilt their squad with many of those upcoming youth academy players.[5][8]

As a result, Paris Saint-Germain began the new season with a young but talented squad that would star in the club's forthcoming back-to-back promotions.[6][5] Some of these gifted youngsters included Christian André, Éric Renaut, Othniel Dossevi, Michel Marella and Jacques Laposte.[9] PSG would finish second in Group West, six points behind Quevilly, missing out on promotion by little.[5] Fortunately, Quevilly had to dissolve due to financial problems shortly after the end of the season and PSG took their place in Division 2 by default.[10]
