Olympique Lyonnais (2016-present) UEFA Euro 2016 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup |
The Parc Olympique Lyonnais also known as Grand Stade de Lyon or Stade des Lumières is 59,186-seat stadium for French football club Olympique Lyonnais near Décines. It replaced its past stadium, Stade de Gerland, in January 2016. The cost of the stadium is estimated to be about €415 million.
History
On 1 September 2008, Olympique Lyonnais president Jean-Michel Aulas announced plans to create a new 60,000-seat stadium, tentatively called OL Land, to be built on 50 hectares of land located in Décines-Charpieu, a suburb of Lyon. The stadium would also include state-of-the-art sporting facilities, two hotels, a leisure center, and commercial and business offices.
On 13 October 2008, the project was agreed upon by the French government, the General Council of Rhône, the Grand Lyon, SYTRAL, and the municipality of Décines for construction with approximately €180 million of public money being used and between €60–80 million coming from the Urban Community of Lyon.[4] Since the announcement, the project has been hindered due to slow administrative procedures, political interests, and various opposition groups who view the stadium as financially, ecologically, and socially wrong for the taxpayers and community of Décines. The project is proceeding, with an estimate that the stadium will be completed by 2015, with at least part of a season for breaking in before the 2016 Eurogames.[5]
On 22 September 2009, French newspaper L'Équipe reported that OL Land had been selected by the French Football Federation as one of the twelve stadiums to be used in the country's bidding for UEFA Euro 2016.[6] The FFF officially made their selections on 11 November 2009 and the city of Lyon was selected as a site to host matches during the tournament.[7]
After the landscaping in 2012, the stadium construction started in summer 2013.
The stadium is still under construction and should be finished in January 2016.
Lyon played their first game in the new stadium on 9 January 2016 against Troyes in a Ligue 1 match. Lyon won the match 4-1.
