Facts and practical information

Parc Olympique Lyonnais, also known as Groupama Stadium for sponsorship reasons, is a state-of-the-art sports venue situated in the city of Lyon, France. Inaugurated in January 2016, this modern arena serves as the home ground for the Olympique Lyonnais football club, one of France's most prestigious and successful teams.

The stadium boasts a seating capacity of 59,286, making it the third-largest football stadium in the country. Designed with the fan experience in mind, Parc Olympique Lyonnais features unobstructed views from every seat, a plethora of concession options, and cutting-edge technology that enhances the spectator experience.

Beyond football, the venue is versatile and has hosted a range of events, including rugby matches, concerts, and festivals. Its retractable pitch ensures the playing surface is preserved during non-sporting events. With its expansive interior space, the stadium has also become a prime location for conferences and corporate events.

The construction of Parc Olympique Lyonnais was part of a broader development project aimed at revitalizing the eastern part of Lyon, including infrastructure improvements and the creation of new jobs. The stadium's design emphasizes sustainability, with features like rainwater collection systems and solar panels contributing to the venue's reduced environmental footprint.
