context_page_description: Nasser bin Ghanim Al-Khelaifi is a Qatari businessman and is the chairman of beIN Media Group, chairman of Qatar Sports Investments, president of Paris Saint-Germain, and Qatar Tennis Federation and vice president of the Asian Tennis Federation for West Asia.
  Al-Khelaïfi is president and chief executive officer of Paris Saint-Germain in France. He is also a member of the organizing committee for the FIFA Club World Cup.
  In 2016, L'Equipe named him "the most powerful man in French football" and in 2020, he was named the most influential person in football by France Football. In 2019, he was elected by the European Club Association as delegate at the UEFA executive committee, becoming the first Asian to hold an UEFA position.
context_section_description: Nasser Al-Khelaifi became the new president and chief executive officer of Paris Saint-Germain in 7 October 2011. Shortly after being named president he presented a five-year plan to take Paris Saint-German to the top of the tree in France and abroad. As part of the long term plan for the club, Al-Khelaïfi brought in former footballer Leonardo as the new director of football.
  Although Al-Khelaifi had initially demanded a major trophy haul for the 2011–12 season, PSG were soon eliminated from the UEFA Europa League and both domestic cups, leaving the team only able to compete $130 million on players, PSG failed to dominate, and lost out to eventual winners Montpellier, though they did qualify for the UEFA Champions League by finishing second.
  In the 2012–13 season, PSG won the Ligue 1 title and also made it to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, thanks partly to the goalscoring of newly signed striker, Zlatan Ibrahimović. They eventually lost in a two-legged tie to Barcelona on away goals.
  In the 2013–14 season PSG again finished top of Ligue 1 with a record total of 89 points. They reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League where they lost to Chelsea 3–3 on aggregate, again going out only on the away goals rule.
  Again they reached the 2018–19 UEFA champions league knock phase where they lost to Manchester United at home after leading with 2 goals at Old Trafford on the first leg. PSG lost at home 1–3 (3–3 on aggregate) and were knocked out by the away goal rule.
  In June 2012, QSi acquired the Paris Handball Club and merged it with the PSG sport franchise to create a wider and more competitive sport offer to the city of Paris. Since 2012, Paris Saint-Germain Handball has won the LNH Division 1 five times, while reaching the EHF Champions League final in 2016–17 and the semi-finals in 2015–16 and 2017–18.
