Olympique Lyonnais in short

Founded in 1950, Lyon’s modern history is closely linked with that of their iconic president, Jean-Michel Aulas, who took over the club in 1987. The French businessman took just two years to turn Les Gones into a French elite team, before building a veritable dynasty in the 2000s, a decade notable for seven consecutive league title triumphs between 2002 and 2008.

The team boast one of France’s best youth academies, which has, over the years, yielded top-quality footballers such as Karim Benzema, Nabil Fekir and Alexandre Lacazette. During season 2019-20, Oussem Aouar's teammates finished 7th in the Ligue 1 Uber Eats, behind Stade de Reims and OGC Nice. At the end of a promising 2019/20 UEFA Champions League, they reached the semi-final and were only beaten by future winner Bayern Munchen. On the previous stages, they had succeeded in defeating Juventus Turin in Round of 16, then Manchester City in Round of 8.

After a unconvincing 2019-20 pre-season, and a series of 7 defeats in Ligue 1 Uber Eats, Olympique Lyonnais decided to dismiss Sylvinho, named coach at the end of June. Jean Michel Aulas and Juninho chose Rudi Garcia as the new coach, after having coached LOSC, AS Roma or Olympique de Marseille.

Olympique Lyonnais' best Champions League result to date is a semi-final against Bayern Munich in the 2009/10 and 2019/20 editions.

Groupama Stadium

The Groupama Stadium has been Lyon’s official home since 2016; prior to that, the club had played at Stade Gerland since 1950. Boasting a capacity of nearly 60,000, it is currently France’s third largest stadium. The arena was used for several matches – the semi-final between Portugal and Wales, for example – during UEFA Euro 2016, which took place in France. And on May 16th, 2018, it provided the stage for the final of the UEFA Europa League, from which Antoine Griezmann’s Atlético Madrid emerged victorious.
