Financial stability restored for Olympique Lyonnais

Olympique Lyonnais has received approval from the DNCG's appeals committee to participate in Ligue 1 and Europa League competitions during the 2025/26 season. This decision reverses the club's initial relegation to Ligue 2 and imposes a cap on the club's payroll. Under the new leadership of Michele Kang and Michael Gerlinger, Olympique Lyonnais has presented updated information on its governance and financial outlook.

The financial requirements for the 2025/26 financial year are covered by available cash and a contribution of €87 million from Eagle Football Holdings shareholders, accompanied by a €30 million bank guarantee. This injection of funds ensures the club's continued operations, regardless of asset disposals or plans for an initial public offering.

Financial forecasts are favorable, ensuring compliance with commitments made to suppliers and the settlement of social security debts. An agreement has also been reached with UEFA regarding financial sanctions. The club thus confirms its commitment to transparency and long-term stability.
