Everything you need to know about Groupama Stadium
Groupama Stadium (also known as Parc Olympique Lyonnais) is a state-of-the-art, 59,186-capacity venue located in Décines-Charpieu, a suburb of Lyon, France.
Opened in 2016 as the third-largest stadium in France, it serves as the home ground for the Ligue 1 football club, Lyon (Olympique Lyonnais) and is globally renowned for its futuristic design, multi-sport versatility, and world-class concert acoustics.
For 65 years, Lyon played at the historic Stade de Gerland. However, to match the club’s growing European ambitions, iconic OL club president Jean-Michel Aulas proposed a brand-new, privately-funded stadium project in 2008.
The stadium was officially inaugurated in January 2016, with a resounding 4-1 victory for Lyon over Troyes, with Alexandre Lacazette scoring the stadium's historic first goal.
