Groupama Stadium: Stadium and arena in a double pack

The Groupama Stadium, home of Olympique Lyon, is not only the third largest stadium in France – it also impresses with technical and sustainable innovations. Directly next door, another venue is currently being built: the LDLC Arena.

At the beginning of 2016, the French stadium landscape was enriched by a new attraction. After construction had begun in July 2013, the ceremonial opening of Groupama Stadium took place on January 9, 2016. Jean-Michel Aulas, former president of Olympique Lyon, the main user of the stadium, was visibly moved on the day of the opening and spoke of “perhaps the best day of my life”.
