help Groupama Stadium FAQ
Why did Olympique Lyonnais leave Stade de Gerland for Groupama Stadium?
The move gave Lyon a modern, club-controlled venue with expanded commercial and hospitality facilities. Groupama Stadium opened in 2016 in Décines-Charpieu, east of central Lyon.
How do supporters reach Groupama Stadium from central Lyon?
Matchday travel commonly combines Lyon's tram network with dedicated services toward Décines and the stadium area. Because access arrangements can change for major matches and concerts, visitors should check the event-specific transport plan.
Has Groupama Stadium hosted events besides Lyon matches?
Yes. It has staged major concerts, international football, rugby, and other large events. The venue was used during UEFA Euro 2016 shortly after opening.
Is Groupama Stadium owned by Olympique Lyonnais?
The stadium was developed as a privately controlled home for Olympique Lyonnais rather than a municipal ground like Stade de Gerland. That ownership model gives the club greater control over matchday and non-football revenue.
