Olympique Lyonnais first took to the pitch in 1950, establishing itself as a footballing entity in the heart of Lyon, France. This founding marked the beginning of a story for a club that would become a consistent presence in the national sport.

The club now plays its home matches at the Groupama Stadium, a modern and expansive venue located in Décines-Charpieu. With a significant capacity of 61,556, the stadium stands as a testament to the club’s ambition and commitment to providing a grand setting for its supporters to witness the action on the field.

Lyon continues its journey in French football, with its identity rooted in its mid-20th century origins and its impressive home ground. The club’s path is shaped by its foundational years and its enduring connection to the city it proudly represents as it looks towards its future.
