About the host venue: Parc Olympique Lyonnais

Located in the commune of Decines-Charpieu, 10km east of central Lyon, the stadium forms part of a complex stretched over 50 hectares and featuring a training ground for OL as well as hotels and office buildings.

This new generation stadium is open 365 days a year and offers a unique experience to its spectators in proposing connected services, which revolutionise the “stadium experience”.

Constructed under the project name Grand Stade OL, the finished venue consists of three tiers. The stadium replaces the Stade de Gerland, OL’s home since 1950.

Parc Olympique Lyonnais staged its first game on 9 January 2016, when OL beat Troyes 4-1 in their Ligue 1 home opener.

The stadium also hosted six matches during UEFA’s EURO 2016 championships, one of which was the semi final.
