Inauguration of the Parc Olympique Lyonnais

9 January 2016 - Events - France

After 29 months of works undertaken by Stade de Lyon Construction (VINCI Construction France), the Parc Olympique Lyonnais was formally opened on 9 January in the presence, notably, of Jean-Michel Aulas, president of the Olympique Lyonnais football club.

55,000 spectators attended the inaugural match: Olympique Lyonnais versus Troyes. After the match, won 4-1 by the Lyon team, this sporting venue welcomed the singer Will-I-Am for a concert.

The Stade de Lyon Construction teams are now working on the Olympique Lyonnais training centre, located just yards from the stadium, which is due for handover in July 2016.
