This emblematic venue, long home to the exploits of the OL (that was a long time ago...) has become the temple of rugby with the LOU. It would seem that Gerland is a success story for local sportsmen and women! In a district undergoing major transformation, the stadium - listed as a "masterpiece of reinforced concrete architecture" since 1967 - was designed by Lyon architect Tony Garnier and inaugurated in 1920. Official LOU Rugby store. A brasserie serves meals every lunchtime on weekdays and on match days. Adjacent to the stadium, the Ruck Hôtel offers great comfort with its bistronomic restaurant. And soon, a new nautical and sports center.

Since the arrival of Olivier Ginon (GL Events) on the lawn of Gerland Stadium, pardon the Matmut Stadium, the LOU has taken beautiful colours in red and black,^2nd in the Top 14 last year. Through its sporting performances and its ambitions of conquest, the LOU continues to seduce more and more fans. Attracting its faithful and a new public to Gerland, the LOU also relies on the conviviality of rugby with a beautiful brasserie and the^3rd half atmosphere. Bars and shop to complete a picture that sees rugby making a breakthrough on Lyon's land.

Olympique Lyonnais was born in May 1950, the bearer of two clubs: FC Lyon, a historic club that participated in the first final of the French Cup, and LOU, whose soccer section is called Lyon Olympic. After the Second World War, football in Lyonnais looks for a second breath, given by a group of round ball enthusiasts who create Olympique Lyonnais. The team plays with a white jersey with red and blue colours of the city of Lyon for the first time on August 27 th, 1950 in Gerland. From the first season, the OL is France's champion of D 2 and access to the elite. The seasons follow and do not look like the results are not always equal to expectations. The first trophy, a French Cup, was won in 1964. The 1960 s announced the arrival of a great club in the French championship and great players go through Gerland: Chiesa, Lacombe, Domenech, Bowl, Di Nallo or Chauveau. In 1976, the OL lost the final of the French Cup to Marseille, before starting a descent to the D 2. In 1983, after 28 years of the elite, the OL went down. The club has trouble recovering and settling in D 2. In distress, the OL discovers an ambitious man, arriving with a plan to lead the D 2 club to the European Cup in the next five years: Jean-Michel Aulas. Five years after its descent, the OL returned to the D 1 in 1989. A true renaissance is beginning and the most skeptical are obliged to recognize the talents of Jean-Michel Aulas and his team. At the dawn of the st century, the team strengthens and recruits a Brazilian magician named Sonny Anderson. From the 2000/2001 season, the OL won the League Cup, its first trophy since 1973. And the titles will follow. The OL won 7 French champion titles (from 2002 to 2008), wins 2 French Cups (2008 and 2012) and 1 League Cup (2001). The Champions of the League, including a semi-finals in 2010, lost against Bayern in Munich. The club, led by Jean-Michel Aulas, continues the beautiful adventure with his men's team, but also with a female team, the only one in France to have won a triple League of Champions, Championship and National Cup. Since the beginning of 2016, the OL has been evolving at the Olympique Lyonnais in Caudataires (now named the Groupama Stadium), a magnificent complex dedicated to football.
