About OLYMPIQUE LYONNAIS
Football club founded in 1950 and chaired by Jean-Michel Aulas since 1987, Olympique Lyonnais has won 21 titles (including the record of 7 consecutive Champion titles) with the club's men's team, which has made 26 appearances in European competitions over the last 30 years, and 34 with the women's team (including 15 French Championship titles, 9 French Cups and 8 UEFA Women's Champions League titles). This approach of parity is also found in the creation of its mixed Academy, whose U19s won the Gambardella Cup in 2022.
Since the inauguration of its new stadium in January 2016, Olympique Lyonnais has, like the major European clubs, a 100% private ultra-modern and multifunctional enclosure, open 365 days a year, which is part of the overall OL Vallée project, a living space offering sports, artistic, cultural and corporate entertainment activities, which will be enriched in 2023 with a 16,000-seat arena.
